| Hi all,
| Bad news first:
| I just got back a quote from a Canadian company specializing in
| rechroming bumpers etc.
| I'm in shock. The quote was for my Mk3.
| 2 small rear bumpers, 2 over riders for the front bumper[ not the front
| bumper itself]
| Total CD 850.- plus 15 % tax.
| I can almost buy another spit for that, well maybe not......
| I guess, the old parts will stay on until a better solution is found.
|
Ugh!
Which company did you try?
There is suppose to be a company in Cornwall that speciallizes in automotive
striping (hot tank) and coatings. I for the life of me can't remember the
name - but I had heard they were reasonably priced and did good work. Heard
from them from the local PCA chapter when I was into 911s. Maybe give the
local club a jingle to place the company?
The spring AutoRama show is coming up in April. That might be a place to
make contact with a company that does chroming - if you aren't in too much
of a rush.
| Good news:
| I had the seat covers [ I have Mk4 seats in the car] taken to an
| upholsterer in my area for repair only. Some panels had to be replaced.
| Quote: CD 400.-. steep, but still acceptable. When I picked the covers
| up on friday, the company had fabricated brand new covers for the same
| price, and done a wonderful job on them. Thank you. The company is
| Mississippi Auto Glass in Carleton Place, Ontario. They will be getting
| further business from me.

Cool! Glad to hear of a good local company to use. Thanks, Livia!
