[crazybitchfttf]

Thank you, Nice looking Motor,

I'm not quite sure wether it is chrome?!?!?!

[tylerma]

try pouring coke on the chrome and rubbing gently with tin foil
apparently it brings chrome up a treat

i take no responsibility if it knackers your chrome though

i know soaking gold jewelry in it works, but the window trims are plastic so not too sure it'd have any effect

i always thought they had a clear plastic coating on them, learn something new every day

get the brasso out either that or de-chrome it and it would look a lot better, cheers for the coms regarding car buts she sadly up for sale...

[crazybitchfttf]

Just bought my baby, standard at mo, lots to do.

I have tried, Tom sauce!! Washing powder, Brasso wool/polish.

Have a test bit i am doing the testing on, when I scratch it I cant see any plastic coating.............

Really wanted to keep the chrome!!!

Running out of ideas................

[naylor04]

Is it chipped/flaked or is it just grubby?

Autosol is great stuff for polishing metals, if it is flaked I dunno what you could do, replace it is probably the only option I can think of..rechroming is near impossible, specialist jobbie.

Oh and welcome to the e30madhouse.co.uk

[OllieB]

Like someone already said, rip it off. Dechroming is the way forward, especially if your car is a dark colour.....

Are you talking about the trim around the side of the car or round the front/rear screen?If its the screen trims,then these are plastic and i think replacing them is the only option,i have this very problem on mine

PS,welcome to the Zone

Rip it off babes and de-chrome it looks way better, some people do actually like it, personally i aint a fan of it but you may aswell go all the way and get some chrome arches while your at it only kidding, i think the best thing you can do is like someone said above is to replace it, if you are going to replace it have a look at other options besides the chrome and pick one out that you like, i just think the only place for chrome on an e30 is on the kidney grill and thats it... we cant all be the same though, it would be a funny world if we were...........hhhmmmm.......or would it

[crazybitchfttf]

It's like cloudy, every BM I have seen has the same problem

NO CHROME ARCHES Sorry big dislike of mine!!

Just bought some lowering springs for it 60m, but the road I live in has a seriously bad speed hump, so could be fun!!

Thinking of either getting some deepdish rims or bbs, only 15's tho

I live in Hemel Hempstead/ Herts, I run a local website and a meet every week

[BrAdZ]

Welcome to the site, Might be intrested in going to a meet as your only local, whats the site?

[crazybitchfttf]

check out my home page

More than welcome to pop along be good to see some more faces

Cheers for all your help on the matter, anyone know where i might be able to buy these new then??

[tusker]

replacing is the only option. Just been quoted Ԛ£70 to do my rear screen

[e30_318i]

i use autoglym paint restorer! works a treat! use it on cars when im valeting it plus if you buy a bottle you can always use it on dull patches on paint work

[crazybitchfttf]

Not a very good pic, had trouble showing the problem and getting it in focus!
