    Bit too bling for my taste. :D I'm sure they'd look the business on a Chevy Impala or something like that though. What are you putting them on?

    I spose warm soapy water would be the best thing for cleaning. I'd stay a mile away from kerbs as well, as they'll f*** your chrome up fairly quick if you scrape off them...

    a word of advise about the chrome and cleaning, standard warm soapy water to wash em, use something like gunk or some other tar remover if there is anything like that on there, but to keep the bling bling look use autosol chrome polish, works wonders on all things chrome, especially all the chrome on my bike :D

    Eye - Thanks for the advise, will invest in some chrome cleaner. Id say my procedure will be: Warm Soapy water => Petrol to remove tar => Warm soapy Water => Chrome Wax
