Had some hideous quotes for re-chroming the headers. Any one got any suggestions ?

Standard headers are stainless not chromed - just polish them. Can take a fair bit of elbow grease but the results are worth it :wink:

yup, start p400 with sandpaper and work from there to p1200 and then polish. They will come up like new.

Re-chrome ? WTF hahahahhahaaa. Don't know whats going on in my head sometimes, I do need me forks re-chroming though. Too much Vimto I reckon :P

Anyroad, I took them to a chromer chap and he said, 'yerrr don't wanna do that, you wanna polish them'. So he's going to. I've got far to much on to be stood there for months fecking about with them buggers [-(
