Hi members

Had the crowns refurbished, am very happy with them as they were quite scuffed when I brought the 75

Look good. Where did you have them done?

soapy · 4th August 2009, 20:02

Look great nice to know they can be brought back to A1 condition especially as the wife curbed my multispoke n/s wheel today

looks like a couple of hours with the dremel and some silver sparkle touch up.

Booked them through Helfords, another company came out and did them at my home, they cost £65 quid each, still worked out cheaper than new ones

Wanted to keep everything on the 75 without changing any of the looks, I really like the crowns and it set the car off now

They look good - I swapped mine for the older-style Contours, in the hope they'd be easier to clean. Nope.

BTW, couldn't the refurb'ers have put the centre cap badges back the right way up..............
