Re: New Black Bonnet Chevrons For Sale
Didn't realise they came in black !
Are they anodised aluminium or painted steel Tim ?
Reason for question - I need a pair of chrome bonnet chevrons - if the ones you have are painted steel then I could strip and plate bright nickel.

Re: New Black Bonnet Chevrons For Sale
Erm? No idea to be honest Brian, someone will maybe know. I dont think they are chrome ones painted black.
The GTi/16v had black ones (except for on a black car)

If you can find a magnet and it sticks to the chevrons then they are steel

Re: New Black Bonnet Chevrons For Sale
Wasn't it all lighter colours so the chevrons stand out more?

Re: New Black Bonnet Chevrons For Sale
Black chevrons sound quite stylish, I wonder how they would look on my car. Quite fancy the idea but would I need to get clips from somewhere or can I reuse?

Re: New Black Bonnet Chevrons For Sale

Re: New Black Bonnet Chevrons For Sale
Sure - but if they are aluminium, mishmetal, or mazak then I'll probably have problems electroplating them - if they are steel then I'll be able to electroplate them in my chemistry lab... AKA the kitchen Someone must have a magnet at work you could use to check please - ta.Brian they are made of metal!

Re: New Black Bonnet Chevrons For Sale
Brian, the badges are made of that lesser known meal "crapite".. they *might* take an electroplateing, but, probably not..
Oh, andthe clips are easy enough, they are entirey standard affairs!

Pretty sure the black ones are alloy of some description, they certainly oxidise like alloy, and dont rust.
