D_eano Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 following this response to a poll i made about bad boy bonnetsLeave them as they are and spend the noney on something more unique.ive come up with something different (i hope)... what if i were to chrome or polish up my brake callipers to a high shine, has this been done before? just wondering baically cause if its posible il do it, just thinking with chroming ill have threads on the calipers that willget ruined maybe? figure it would look mint behind new wheels style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />any input/suggestions/views very welcomeDean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nev Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 thats a great idea if you can expose the things through the alloy nicely.you would have to prep them loads though to get a smooth effect.if you go to www.frost.co.uk you will find a kit there which will do the job.Me and a few in another club were going to buy a kit to do it but it is costly so if a few people chip in and you all do it it would be good. or you could charge to do others after you have done your own to make the money back.Just an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanLUPO Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 sand 2 mil off then get them chrome dipped just a cheaper idea style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nev Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 suppose you could, I was just looking through the Frost catalogue, Adonising kits and plating, looks good but just exploring Ideas for my show cars to make them different.I may get a kit and get doing some bits and maybe sort the club out with stuff.

heartagram Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Would work but I can't see the point? You'd spend your entire life cleaning them wouldn't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Green Giant Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 its a nice idea, but surely it would be impractical? you would be cleaning them everytime you stopped! and also wouldnt it look odd against normal finished disks? go for it if you have the time would deffinetly be unique, but would probably have its problems!

nev Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 I can see the point about all the cleaning and the hastle but they do look cool if you can do it all like that, even the struts.
