Looks ok.
one thing ... a lot of Chrome painted plastic does fade and yellow over time.
My VW T5 had a nice Chrome surround on the grill as standard, and I bought from an eBay seller some chrome in-fill pieces for the horizonal slats on the grill. Looked very smart but I did notice a year later the aftermarket parts had discoloured a bit whilst the original VW part was as bright as ever (and was actually around 7 years older than the added parts as well).

It is a bit of a gamble i guess buying from abroad but they do state the chrome never fades and to be to automotive standard but who knows?
The buyer on Facebook seems happy with the mirror caps they bought and that is all we can go by :yes:

Useful site, Paul, thanks.
Like everything else out of PRC at the moment, it can either be bloody fantastic or piss-poor. Buyers' reviews often help but, at the end of the day, it's a bit of a gamble. But you're not having to re-mortgage the house to buy the stuff, so it's not a big deal really. Often worth a punt.....

That site started off quite big on the Honda Civic FB page.... Seemingly decent kit at good prices but can be long waits to get your kit... Lots of bling if that’s your bag.

Just been asking the buyer on Facebook and he reckons they took about a week to arrive so not bad if it is that amount of time :TU:
