You just made me switch on my PC to check your post!!
My phone does not show these things >> :bang: << so I got to the end of the post and read "coffee milkshake slapme"!!!!! wasnt sure if you where comming on to me!!!!

But after re-reading I understand! and yes a very thick coffee milkshake indeed!! couldnt believe it was all in the airfilter and everywhere.

So am I adding the Rear calipers to your box then?

If you send me your address I can get them all posted for you as soon as possible, I will ask about tommorow I know a few bodyshops and some metal fabricators, never had anything chromed before but I will ask around might be able to get something sorted before I send.

With regards to the Door handles are they easy to remove? i have not looked yet but bearing in mind the door cards are off cant see it being anymore than a couple of screws.

if the handles are made of plastic then you can not chrome them as iit is done by the proses of electroplating so the chrome is liquid and is posotive and the handle is negative so the protons ect attach to the handle thus the chrome ataches to the handle thats why it needs to be metal

you might be able to get them plactic covered chrome effect

mad about cars and bikes :)
if it aint broke dont fix it :)

Ah yes I think you are right On the new Focus they offer "chrome effect door mirrors" which are a plastic film that sticks over the top of them, maybe thats what you need?

I will hold fire until you are sure if you like
