Hi guys, does anyone know of a good chrome plating shop in melbourne that can repair/rechrome my front bar ? If so, has anyone had this done recently and can give me an idea what its going to cost, or am I better off just going and buying a changeover bar from rare spares ? Cheers.

Hey pwrslave it depends what sort of quality you want.
That cheap nasty RareSpares chrome job that Mr.Jones had done Im guessing was a basic nickel and chrome job.
If you want quality that lasts then you need to ask for a copper nickel chrome (Some call
