dandan Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 Hi Guys, I'm after a bit of advice regarding some cosmetic work I'm doing on my car. It's off the road anyway while I'm trying to find some Tein suspension parts for my rear dampers so I thought I'd sort out the inside of my facelift headlights. I've gotten them apart as the worst looking part is the "chrome style" rings inside and peeling away to a nasty yellow mess. I want to repaint or rechrome (or whatever the best process is) these rings and respray the inside as they look quite tatty. As you can see from the pic the chrome parts look cr@p and there's a little paint peeling near the fog light area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandan Posted August 31, 2003 Author Share Posted August 31, 2003 Thanks Dunk, I've got a feeling the facelight assembly is nearer to £350 though!! Any ideas on the chrome finish?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 Originally posted by dandan Any ideas on the chrome finish?? It's just that sprayed on fake chrome crap. It's seen it sold at Halfords, dunno how good it is though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
