can this chrome trim be saved?

Hi,

Bit of a noob RE chrome.

Looking at this picture can the chrome be brought back to original finish?



Many Thanks

IMO, renew it or replace with black beading

Can you get this new anywere other than BMW?

You can buy it from Pelican parts (google them) in the US - think it was around US$60 + postage for front and rear so probably cheaper to get locally. You need a special tool to install it too (unless you want to grapple with screw drivers and risk injury to fingers and paint) but they are pretty cheap. You will probably need to replace the little clips at the joins as they are difficult to get off intact but they are only a few dollars.
I replaced mine recently and it makes a big difference to the appearance of the car

From cotswold for me too do the front and rears it was around £60 iirc, with clips etc....

Just wondered if anywere did it cheaper?

Mine's in worse condition than that

[town325i]

most of them are just yellow now so that trim is in good condition

mine cost £45 all in for front and rear screens from my local dealer with a nice dollop of discount
