Scary,

You got any before and after pics of their work and an idea of costs?

Just thinking it may be worth building up a database of trusted/good suppliers that we can send our valuables to!

Thanks

Paul

Heres some of there work..
Bare in mind this is chrome over alloy..
(very hard too polish before chroming, as u donâ€™t want the writing rubbing away)

This lot was Â£55

i dont have before pic's..but believe me they were shagged.

Frosty · « **Reply #6 on:** January 25, 2006, 10:31 AM »

Did they do the prep work aswell or did you have to spend hours rubbin'?

They look great. I have sent a set of crank arms and some manky brake calipers to the folks at Clevedon Chroming, once I get these back I'll compare with the stuff I had done at castleford Chrome and post pics etc. I may well send the next batch of bits to Leigh's.

have you had a quote for f+f mr leary?

scary_leary · « **Reply #8 on:** January 25, 2006, 11:10 AM »

yeah they do all the prep..

never taken a f/f..but you will have too take parts in, they dont really quote over phone.

jezza off here and the burner forum has used them..and was well pleased.

i once took a set of steel pro class rims in for matt ..aka, mattgaybeat and was quoted £120

they said alot of work had too go into polishing around every little hole, so i reckon a f/f set should be around £150 maybe £120

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #9 on:** January 25, 2006, 11:12 AM »

yeah, i have had problems with rims, they have to be carefull, otherwise the big polishers they use widen the spoke holes. thus it takes a lot more time, thus it cost a lot more.
