Hi all Ive taken off my grille section that fits under the wiper arms on my p5b. tried to clean it up but not too successful as slight pitting in certain areas. Has anyone tried to rechrome these or know of any where that sells them although I know its a rare item. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance Paul

Thanks in advance Paul Many have tried to chrome the grill Paul they never look right as you cant polish in-between the holes in the casting, David Green was looking into having them chrome painted but that was a while ago.

I had mine done from another source. Bloody awful. The chrome chips off even if you look at it. I will be putting my original back on as it sits better with the car. I hope David Green does do the scuttle grille. DAVID ARE YOU READING THIS? Changing Topic SlightlyI bought a set of wheels of DG but made some enquiries first. I beleive John Wallett did a piece in "Take Five". "The guy who does them knows his stuff and an interesting chap did the chrome paint on the chassis of the Indian Motorbike that broke the speed record for the Indian. I had a few visits to him to get the process looking right!" (JB informed me) I am very impressed with them.The finish is not as deep chrome as say a "John Wallett" wheel, but they do look great never less. IMHO They are superb. I will post some of my photos later today. One of the photos on e-bay is not good as it looks like in real life. It shows an imperfection on the left side of the rim which is actually not there. It is a trick of the light. Attachment Deleted
