Hi, just wondering if anyone can recommend a place in SA that could do restoration work on some RX3 parts. For example tail light surrounds, grilles, rear pillar vents, head light surrounds etc.
I know that there are a few places interstate like Mazbitz and restoremaz, but are there any in SA?
Also are there any places in SA that can do plastic chroming, thinking about getting my grille done. If anyone has done this, what sort of price would I be looking at?
Thanks.

Chrome Masters 11 Barfield cres Elizabeth West. ph 8252 6966
A Class Metal Finishers 6 Waddikee Road Lonsdale ph8384 4331 (do plastics as well)
if neither of them can help (they will beable to) try ringing a company called trimfix 1300661166
and ask them to recommend someone for you. they dont do chroming but should damn sure know everyone that does.
only personal advice i can give is its damn frikkin expensive and if dodgy brother do it for you, it'll peel straight back off. other peeps probably got good ideas too. i enquired about it for my rx3 too but ended up taking the poverty spec chrome paint approach.

hi! did chrome masters change their mobile number? i cannot reach them or maybe it's just a bad timing? i need to restore some car parts (http://www.carpartswholesale.com/) but i think i should go to there place so they could quote me estimate price right? :quagmire:

I used a-class for my plastic chroming and was excellent
parts were inner center plastic on Rx4 tail lights (the rest i did my self)
