Model 3 Dechrome

[sevqsum]

Hi All,

For those of you that have dechromed your Model 3 how much did you pay? I've reached out to a few companies in the Herts area and have had the following back

1. £900
2. £370
3. 350

Price 1 looks to be really high but I don't want to over pay or pay too little for poor material.

Ask them what material they use.
I went with a brand called Orafol, £350, local guy, very good value. I also had another quote of £450. City areas charge more.

How someone could quote you £900 just for dechrome is laughable.

I'm interested in this and would it include the window trim and handles only? Thanks

It's window trim, door handles, side cameras.
There's a place that fully wraps the handles, it doesn't seem necessary but it's possible. Mine are wrapped so there is original handle showing on the back, no issues.

I'm actually surprised no one offers Chrome Add for MYs and >2020 M3s. I'm getting tired of this matte black trend.
I'd gladly swap with you if it was possible

If you go to a proper wrapper they can do anything for you, mine are a blue colour shift that changes as you move. I also had a bit added where the spoiler goes. They'll just buy a sheet of material and cut as they go.

The stealth looks on many cars is saturated now and just makes me think me of drug dealers . Apparently Audi gives you the option of a blacked out badge now?

The new quicksilver colour though... Can't tell if it's very cool and modern or like granddad's Merc from the nineties... Everything is cyclical...

Thanks for your feedback. I'm going to contact a few more places and see what they come back with.
