Most people polish the alloy cases rather than have them chromed. I can't help you with a Southern recommendation but I use

Lincoln Alloy Polishing www.lincolnalloypolishing.co.uk

or Agbrigg Chroming at Leeds www.agbriggchrome.mycylex.co.uk if you insist on this route.

You can post the covers to them.

it might be worth getting ur stuff polished up and then clear powder coated to save money as they have to be chemically stripped and polished before chroming and if your say.. alternator Casing gets stone chipped it's not easily fixed.i know from experience.. polished and coated for me. mark.. see ebay191999084134 chrome tear drop cover. good luck N ride safe
