I think that scene peaked very early before descending into the Dolphin van mobile tat shop I’m a not right and proud of it morass that it is now. The VW guys seem to have spread their wings a bit and brought it back to how it was.

Tried my hand and improving these rather unsuccessfully. I’ve been quoted £200 to get them rechromed,seems a touch dear,any opinions?

I’ve tried using enamel paint and try as I might it doesn’t dry flat,tried flatting back but it just makes it worse.
I might give it one more go masking and spraying.

Look fine to me mate. I’ve seen a lot worse !!!
Perfection leads to obsession, and then a fear of using it.
Just my opinion.
