Hello all reading this :) I am still having the itch to have a W124 CE after 'losing' one back in 2005 (E219WCL) and despite having a W140 S500L and a W124 300D, the CE left a big 'void' which no car has ever managed to fill. I have the feeling maybe this year I might get another, but would like...

My exhaust tips on my SL appear to be painted and are in a bit of a sorry state. Can anyone recommend somewhere to get them re-chromed, and preferably West London area but nationwide is fine if they do a postal service. I phoned a couple of places I found online but neither seemed interested...
