Rechroming exhausts in UK

Post by elbert »

Anyone who had a set of exhausts rechromed in the UK or elsewhere in Europe? I have a nice set for a TC 305 that I wold like to have rechromed to get them a bit more nice and shiny for my scrambler project.

Hi elbert,

I had my T500 exhausts re-chromed by Marque Restore Chrome Plating, they did a very good job:

Other chrome plating I have had done via Reality Motorworks (http://www.realitymotorworks.com/) of Bristol who used S&T. These guys I believe will also re-chrome exhausts.

I used these guys, fairly close to me in East Yorks, UK. Real enthusiasts, they've done a superb job on loads of bits for my T500M.

Quality Chrome

If you want me to assist locally, let me know.

Thanks guys, I'll start contacting them and see if they can help me. Also need to check if I can ship them by Post, the Postal services here have size restrictions now, no problem receiving an oversize, but sending one is another problem. Might have to take a trip to the UK and bring them as luggage : )

Don't use marquerestore, unless you live near by, and can go in to speed it up. I used them a few times, and there work is good, but they don't rush, or get back to you, when your chroming is done. I ask them at a show (he had a stall there), and he wanted £110 for a front wheel rim. I think some of the fumes have got into his head man!!!
