not sure if this is in the right location but i'm curious if any of you guys know somewhere in melb that will re-chrome the reflectors for a TS?

pulled mine apart last night to give the glass a cut / polish and found that the chrome is flaking
i know i can get new ones if i have to but would like to get the ones i have re-done for a side project :cool:
cheers guys

Hmm probably worth a hunt around the wreckers?
You can still find some headlights that are in good nick...

For $200-$250ish you can hunt down a set of parras that will never fog up

I sold mine for $20, in good condition. I'm sure there's be a few floating around here after all the para conversions going on.
Think I've seen the odd one going for about $20 each on ebay.

Definitely wouldn't be cost-effective to get your current ones revamped.

I would sell you my old ones but the chrome was flaked in them as well.

Ring up some engineering places and see if they can help you out with the chrome plating. It's pretty expensive though....

Otherwise buy my diamante grille and light assembly :)

If you were in QLD I could of give you a pair for nothing as I have about 5 pairs of the things!
