Default General Chrome Discussion.

Since the headlight switch thread (http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=8635) my own level of wanting more chrome has increased and reading Lee's thread about chrome paddles (http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=8672) it might be spreading.

I thought it would be nice to have a thread dedicated to adding chrome parts to our A8s or at least just a place to throw ideas around.

I had two other ideas to add chrome as well.

First was this.
It wont do our folding mirrors but if the know can be removed it should work.

Along the same lines as the headlight switch.

The other one was seat buttons.

I have no idea if these will work, I don't even know how ours comes off.

I think this switch will look better, the other one is to shiny and all the OEM chromes inside the cabin are anodized, not gloss.

Seat buttons?? They already have chrome on them.

I can't remember. I never really noticed lol

My link is more chrome than brushed, like the OEM one.

That one is already in my watch list. lol

What else we got?
