[Healeys] Reproduction British Chrome Question

[tomleavy at comcast.net]

Hi Listers- 


Does anyone have any experience in dealing with UK Spares for replacement chrome? I have searched alot of posts about rechroming, and am considering purchasing the "premium" parts this company offers in lieu of agonizing over finding an affordable, reliable rechromer. I have done a body off resto, and while I want it to look perfect, I'm afraid I may wind up paying $1000 or more extra to refinish my original bits. Right now, I'm looking at about $1700 to outright buy all new chrome (exclusive of windscreen and vent windows). 


The body of my BJ7 came out beautiful, and the original pieces that I thought I could get by with are no longer acceptable to me (sound familiar?). I would like to adorn it with jewelry that reflects this finish. I am interested in hearing your experiences with the Brit replacements, the fit, the finish, and how it compares in price to rechromed original parts. Any input will be greatly appreciated.
