CHROME!!!

Post by Colin H F » Wed Sep 26, 2012 4:44 pm

What with the ridiculous price of these chrome stickon over mirrors, has any one thought or even done taking the handles off cleaning off rhe paint and getting them chromed [professionally] I mean i remember years back when I was knocked off my Ducati Darmah my knee stoved the tank in and the headlight was in a sorry state well I blew the tank out and taped the headlight back in shape and got them chromed,good as new

Door handles are also plastic, although they can still be chromed. It's been covered on here before, so a search should being up the relevant info.

Hi
Jay....Yup...all black Bongo....I know you luv it :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
I'm afraid mine is RED, metalflake gunmetal, and DISPROPORTIONATE amounts of CHROME and Bling with more added by the day!

By the way...love the link...a favourite film of ours, PLUS a favourite track....and I remember the Vietnam protest mags of the 60's very well.....reading them at work
