Honestly, I don’t know how you can avoid a bit of rubbing on cornering if you want the top of the tyre hidden, unless you go 1980s flares. I was worried about it when I took mine for modified vehicle inspection, but they didn’t look at it. When I had 185/60 R14 tyres on they said it was too low. Then I fitted 195/75 R14 tyres and no questions asked, even though the clearance on lock is minimal.

Re: Ammo's Ute
Picked some indicator surrounds and the guard strips from A CLass yesterday.
I can see why there are painted or powder coating bumper etc as the cost of good chroming is expensive. Pending on what Anne-marie likes for the grill, these may end up on the sedan.
Cheers,

As always, good quality chroming and the surrounds had a crack that had to to fixed. these pieces were there for nearly 8 weeksI can see why there are painted or powder coating bumper etc as the cost of good chroming is expensive. Pending on what Anne-marie likes for the grill, these may end up on the sedan.

There is a right way and a wrong way and then there is my way which is usually the long way.

Re: Ammo's Ute
holy crap, I had ALL the die cast and steel redone on the ute in 2010 and the whole lot including door handles, bonnet bird etc was $810 ......
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Re: Ammo's Ute
Why do you think Frank doesn’t have much chrome the boss would have freaked out if I presented the bill

Re: Ammo's Ute
Yes, I draw the line at rechroming.
