so how do you go about it then? shall i buy the red omp one, then rub it down then take it to be chromed? or do i not need to bother to rub it down?

also how much should i be looking to pay to get it chromed?

Think its about 40-50 to get chromed at the place i use, good quality finish. I had a load of stuff done at the same time so paid a job lot price.

If you strip and start polishing then all they have to do is dip it it may work out cheaper.

i might pop up to the dealers 2moz and buy one, any idea if the ones that you see on e-bay are the right ones? i have had a good look but cant work out if they are right or not?

also you got any idea where i can buy a rear strut brace from? i have heard that volks bits do one for the polo that fits the ibiza, but im not sure what model polo its meant to be for?

Its all planned for over the winter, also a polished brake fluid bottle. If you know of a polished/chromed power steering bottle let me know.

Got a new alterntor to get chromed and go on along with other stuff to be done, should be cleaner, more blinging by next year!

the mk1 golf strut brace is nice coz its quite thick but im thinking perhaps it might be better to buy the 6n polo one coz its adjustable.
