Where did you get the stuff for rechroming from?

Mine is tatty and could do with refreshing. Is it hard to fit?

Lots of "mirror chrome wrap" on eBay.

I have some spare "sticker bomb" wrap from doing my Jago if you'd prefer...

Yep ebay, search on 'chrome wrap'. Its fiddly, you'll need some 'prying tools' and a heat gun/hairdryer. I'm no professional at wrapping but I managed it ok. Still have the other side to do.

An old respray trick is to lift the windscreen rubber and feed some thin electrical cable- bell wire or similar, underneath which leaves the lip raised. Wrap or respray and then remove the wire so that the new colour goes underneath the rubber.
I didn't need my heatgun when I wrapped the screen pillars and windscreen surround on my Z300S, just a warm day and a felt edged applicator.
