Chrome wrap would be cheaper.

"Chromed fiberglass" ... well now one can see why it was not a breakthrough, as metallic paint seem to hold a lot better.

I've been in touch with this seller (Peter), quite talkative and friendly at times - I believe he still has a few paid switches that he has not sent me, after several reminders and many months went by.

White-wall tyres too, very 60's.

Sorry if it's already been posted before.
