Has anyone had a good result re-plating the chrome trim that sits in the door/rear Q window seals? - They are originally chrome plated aluminium and do not respond well to polishing.
I'm in Surrey - so would appreciate a recommendation for a local platers that could do this kind of job well.
I'm also guessing that NOS trims are unobtanium. Thanks,
Laurence

Re: MK1 Chrome strips
I was thinking of doing mine too. Is it a glass out job?

Definitely glass out for the quarters and front/rear screens or else the trims will be damaged. They go in/ come out as a unit.
There must be someone out there who has managed to restore their brightwork? - I want to get this done before reassembling the car. And I want to reassemble the car!

Re: MK1 Chrome strips
I will definately be doing this when I get the paint done. Can you not just take tgem to a local polishers/chromers?
