All the chrome trim is now off with Capital Chroming (Formerly London Chroming co) and should be back shortly, following which it will be time to reassemble the hardtop.

Hard top
The hard top wasn't restored during the rebuild. I decided to tackle it last year and have been buying all the rubbers and trim for it. The hard top was dropped off a couple of weeks ago at Paintshop pro http://www.thepaintshoppros.co.uk/category/painting-cars/ . It has been re-sprayed in black to compliment the existing black soft top\go with the dark blue paint. I established when stripping down the hard top that it was originally the same colour as the body work, DB166 bluegrey.

Small repairs
I recently had the rear over riders re-chromed to remove some small dents in them, very well done by Derby Plating.
I also purchased a leather restoration and recolouring kit to tackle the sun visors. These were the only pieces of leather not replaced in the rebuild but needed some attention. A few hours of work had them looking much better, closer to the original colour and less glossy also.
