Have another question.
BMW have given a lot of parts to the 75 and ZT.
Do the roof bars from a BMW fit the 75 or ZTT?

You will not get much change out of £250 if they are done correctly, as above Devlish as had is and other Nano members now for at least 5-7 years.

I don’t think Devilish had them chromed. I believe he bought them already chromed and cleaned them up. They look great.

Hi Dave.
Yes Mr D had them chromed along with a few others sets, I would go as far as to say 9 out of ten you will see most likely came through the Nano route if I recollect correctly,

Steve is correct, from what I was told, devilish, had 5 sets done, one set for himself and the others sold on. I was fortunate enough to be pointed in the direction of a set when one of the original buyers decided to scrap there car.
Prior to obtaining a set, I made lots of enquiries into getting a set chromed, and while there were companies out there who would do them for around £300 to £350, they all wanted them striped of the original coating on the rails.
The one all in quote I got was £450.00.
I was therefore very pleased when Trebor and Devilish brought to my attention the set I now have. Many thanks.
