De-chroming...

Just putting it out there but would anyone be interested in swapping their black headlamps for my chrome ones and also potentially swapping my polished alloy windscreen for your black one?

Please see my pics for details, but essentially I would like to de-chrome my car to suit the black parts I already have and these are the last two pieces I think.

Just a thought, is anyone interested ??

Thanks

Hi Andrew, quite a few guys do this. As an alternative, have you thought of stripping your lamp housings to get them blasted and powdercoated?

Removing and stripping the windscreen frame wont be for the faint hearted and I believe you've just got your car, so you could just enjoy it for now ;-)

Now now lads, each to their own, it's a matter of personal taste. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course, those of us with the very best taste like their chrome, but as I said, each to their own. :laugh:  :cool:  :love:

If yellow and chrome looked good, bumble bees would be a lot shinier.

 

Good idea trying to find someone with lesser taste than yourself to swap with. Got to be easier than re-coating or even replacing!

If yellow and black Westfields were shaped like bumblebees, no one would buy one! :d

Seriously, my car is fully chromed and my first thoughts were to go black, but i've kind of grown to like it.

 

Oh, but my car is black which is soooooo out of fashion now, I guess black and chrome is doubly out of fashion now then :cry: .

Stealth is my preferred look. When I just missed out on your Duratec Yanto, my immediate thoughts were to change all the chromed bits for black.
