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.

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 :-)

Wasn't it all lighter colours so the chevrons stand out more?

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?

Black one's were probably fitted when the chrome ones had run out, typical citroen....

Brian they are made of metal!
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 :D Someone must have a magnet at work you could use to check please - ta.

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!

Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

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