rampant rivet Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Have a couple of headlight reflectors that need re chroming for my Bedford MW anyone know of a reliable company please ? As you can see the chrome has had it. This is the original drivers side with "dipping" mechanism the reflector can be removed from the gubbins for chroming.

79x100 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 What happened to the first-rate reply that I read to this question last night ? Google 'Headlamp re-silvering' and you'll find a number of companies. If your reflectors are brass then the cost is not too high. It makes a world of difference.

Highland_laddie Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I too am left wondering why the reply posted yesterday has disappeared. No connection with the company (wrong end of the country) but this was the website identified earlier http://www.ashfordchroming.com and as the knowledgeable poster stated yesterday old headlights are re-silvered. cheers, julian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeePig Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Yes and why was my thank you post removed too, can't you be civil on here anymore ? As the forum is an IT system, it could have just been eaten by the server trevor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyvern rider Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) You could try 'genius of the lamp' they did a couple of headlight reflectors for a classic vehicle I restored and did a cracking job, not cheap but first rate, they are in Birmingham. going from memory I think chrome was not used in headlight reflectors but was called silvering, think it was something to do with the way chrome is deposited on the surface.
