Re: T500K RESTO
thanks.heres a couple with the chrome trim.
it has a brushed finish so its not a shiny chrome.
it was intended for a old mini door but its 10 mm wide.

Re: T500K RESTO
some of you may remember this.
I imported it from the states and this is what it use to look like.
just gave her a good clean up.
spray painted the frame,rusted bolt etc replaced with s/st inc the cheese screws and a repaint on tank/panels.
didn't bother counting how after 600 uk pounds.lol
