I have used RS chromers in manchester before. They did me a set of handlebars perfectly. I sent them in battered condition with paint still on & they came back like new. Took about 3 weeks to turnround.

Yes, they've gone bust. I live 2 mins away from them. Gutted  :(. They re-chromed my skyway & did a fantastic job too  :daumenhoch:

I've taken some parts to Midas Plating just outside Oldham. Hopefully i'll be getting the parts back this week, so will post up some pics & give you all a report.
