No, not for my wheel nuts, I have to redo my Opel GT's rear bumpers as they have gone off.

Just been quoted £225 plus VAT by my usual guy, and a 5 week turnaround, which seems madness.

Thanks in advance.

Matt, I use Kings on Canvey Island...
havn't done anything for me for a couple of years, but I was very happy with the work they did for me before...
number is (01268) 695672 if you wanted to give them a call...
Regards,
Enzo.

(Greek guy called George was the actual plater...nice guy, very happy to talk through the work that needed doing...not sure if he is still there).

The best quality plater is http://www.chromebysandt.com/ not the cheapest but they are propably the best (no offence to my compatriot George!) I use them for customers bikes and they have done all the chroming on my fiat 124 spider and the all have lasted really well. Chroming is all about preparation and that's what you pay for.

Any pics Bill of the 124 spider , ive had 3 of them a couple in concours condition, mate of mine still has one in his Fiat showroom less than 600 miles on it , had 2 124 sports they were graet cars especially the 1800 twin cam , had a 2litre twin cam and that was no where near as fast as the 1800

......And the european 1600 was faster still! Mate it's all in bits... Has been for two years now. It was nothing special 1.8 US spec californian (no rust!) car and I am really ashamed about it. I wanted to create something special so It started with updating the engine to a 2L with guy croft guided tuning and ended up with a complete strip down and respray. The paintwork is fabulous!! I managed to get a set of 131 abarth wheels which make the car look awesome! All I need to is finish it!

That seems a lot Matt...Was going to get the badges on the GTV done the same colour as the wheels but may think again if it's goign to cost that much.
