Just a quick one all,

 

it would seem almost impossible to find the original chrome plated hub caps without any dents, so my question is would it be possible/feasible to have the dents removed by a body shop or good panel beater will be having them re-chromed so surface damage to the original plated surface will not be an issue. Will be fitting the 9 hole reverse rims (Minispares) I believe the stainless repro's sold today will not fit the aforementioned wheels.

 

Cheers

I would have thought they could do that, they certainly can  beat dents out of bumpers and over riders on cars which are much thicker steel.

 

I would think it would be expensive though.

I see your in Stourbridge, these guys aren't far from you and have a good reputation.  I've seen their work at shows and its first class.

Cheers thanks for the reply, that's where I was going to get them re-chromed chances are they will know of a decent body shop that could get the dents out never thought of that option. Many thanks.
