looks good if done properly. Word of advice - make sure the ally is clean (scratch free) before you get them done, as anodising tends to highlight any flaws.

Suck it and see, cant go wrong for £12! Even if you dont like them when they are done you can just polish it off. |

Dont expect to polish it off easily - especially if its hard anodising cos its like chrome. Decorative anodising is easier to get off but will take more than a quick rub with autosol!

the same way people polish alloy then laquer it..................so after a few yrs the laquer starts to flake off n look shit and all becoz they cant b arsed just to buff em once a month if they hadnt laquered |
