    Chrome plating

    A question rather than a suggestion.
    Anyone had a good experience with getting the Alfa runners re-plated, and willing to share their experience/contact?
    I have seen it mentioned in the odd thread but guess this would be the right place to record it for easy reference.

    Thanks for the pointers guys.
    £70 sounds reasonable to me.
    CJ suggested to me earlier that it might be a good idea to get a few done at a time. If anyone else is thinking of having any done then get in touch here or pm me.
    If you have any old runners lying about then let me know.
