Chrome alloys

[ls400lpg]

I want my Ls400 mk4 alloys in chrome like in America.

What do people think and know about getting these done

 

Merci

Nah!

I would have said a little too bright given the understated nature of the 400, and it's lack of chrome on the body.

On the other hand it would stand out from the crowd a little more.

True. Good point.

 

How about some shiny silver or something. They do look a little bland the alloys though on its own

Agree they can look a little 'staid', but that is fine by me, unless I ever pimp up my paintwork.

How about Bright Sparkle Silver - http://www.lepsons.com/standard-colours/

lovely. Probably looking at £500 which I do not have lol.

What about stripping them and doing a mirror polish then laquer them.

I have seen Edd China do it on MR2 on wheeler dealers.

Only issue is that everyone says the laquer wont stay on.

 

Just a cheap alternative

What about diamond cutting?

that I like. How much would that cost approx?

Do you not need to protect a diamond cut surface? Plus, only so many 'cuts' you can perform, so I understand

Lacquer over diamond cut usually results in the 'worm' effect, fine lines due to moisture breaching the lacquered protecting.

I’ve seen ceramic polishing aswell

The way to do it is to go onto the inter net, type in the "Wheel specialists" when it comes up it will show locations of the companies that do the job, pick the one close to your location, they will give you a price, I had mine done and they are brilliant.
