mjn Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 I don't get the anti-chrome vibe, seems to be a theme on the forum I was thinking of adding more chrome to my car at one point .... Personally, i feel chrome belongs on a classic car. Any modern car with chrome just looks kinda outta place. And in most cases, its not even real chrome, just fake plastic chrome.

Agree with above comment. Don't mind chrome. But it all depends on what colour the car is . Got chrome under the hardtop. But previous owner had it wrapped in carbon. Might take it off. And wrap it with the new ones. Need to see it in person. Will do when I am in Yorkshire next. lloyd_330 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuBeeDoo Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 I'm 50/50 on chrome or shadowline. I bought a pair of matt black gutter trims, and wrapped the waistrails in black, but every now and then I wonder if I should put the chrome trims back on and take the wrap off. I don't think running Anthracite wheels has helped - the car just looks too moody with everything being dark. sive s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M3NXN Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 I'm 50/50 too. For me on imola, chrome only looks good if the car is completely standard otherwise it just looks like its been retrofitted for bling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MICK 330 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Got the Jets for the Vert & Yipppeeee its stopped leaking after the second attempt. The B@$t@rd had me going for a while! The Stealer parts man told me the telescopics were not handed & all the same but the bloody thing wouldnt fit the N/S of the touring Vert 2005/Touring FL 2003). Arrrgghhhh. Cold wet n peeee`d orf to say the least lol. So ive bodged my touring by super glueing a rubber bung over the leak. Its horrible lads it really is but ITS NOT BLOODY LEAKING NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha let you know tomorrow if im still so bloody smug! hee hee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian332isport Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 I don't recall if the telescopes are handed, but the jets themselves certainly are. Ian mjn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my interior was any thing other than hellbeige everywhere i would use white LEDs i just preferred the OEM look for this colour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_F Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Took my screen wash tank off, cleaned it out, put it back in and refilled. Now all my jets work well. About time! Only took me 2 years to sort that problem out! Haha M3NXN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MICK 330 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Yep Jets for sure Ian. As i was freezing piss wet through & a tad short of patience i couldnt be arsed to sort it. Ha with a hot cuppa warm n dry it took 2 seconds to see the body revolves! It was a bit crusty so maybe thats why it didnt do it the first time i tried!!! Any way my bodge is merrily leaking (water level same as last night so filled it with screenwash) lol but at least the Vert is ok.
