From where can I get a new set of chrome strips that go in the insert of the grill? I've got one of them in a very bad shape, but the rest are ok. But I'mm willing of changing them the 5 of them! Cheers Matt |

Longest build time in history?

The plating on them is generally pretty poor. But unless they are dented which is why you want to change them, they polish up pretty well with brasso or other metal polish. People always used to go on on the Rev about leaving them in a bottle of coke over night too, but i could never be bothered to try it.
