There's a wide range of companies around that will chrome items for you, sometimes it better to go to a local firm, sometimes it's better to send the items off. Whereabouts in the country are you? I've used Niphos in Crewe, and Nuneaton Fine Finishing in, er, Nuneaton. Both had pretty good results.

Did you see the recent article in, I think, Classic and Sportscar magazine? They tested a 4-door 100 and a 100 Coupe S.

Did you get your cars back home ok? Look forward to seeing the photos. Are they saloons or the coupe version?

Hi mate, welcome to the site. Would love to see some piccies of the Audi's? First car I ever drove at the Car Drome in Romford Essex, was my girlfriend of the times' dads' Audi 100 Coupe S when I was just 16. Loved it, lovely car it was. Very rare now too.
