Hi all, I've just bought a '86 B2 90 Quattro.
I'm after some reflectors which are in good nick both sides, my ones have no reflective chrome left on them?
If anyone could help out that would be great.
Cheers Adam

bro,this will sound whack,but,get them out of the front of your car and

A---take them apart very carefully and take the reflectors to a trophy shop and get them to re coat them...

or

B---Get an Auto Electrician to take them apart for ya and take them to a trophy shop.......

hope that helps?

Might try that, there already out and taken apart.
So do they re-chrome them or something, I was told they needed to be vacuum something?
Thanks for the reply  ;)

I've had reflectors re-chromed, works a treat.
Simple dismantle job, look at sourcing new gaskets too. That will help keep the moisture out

Sweet, I'm doing it up at the moment.
It's been stood for 2 years until I bought it off Dads boss.
Also I'm after a rear balljoint and wheel bearing kit.
I've looked at getting parts from America as they seem cheapest, is there anywhere in NZ i can get those parts from?
Cheers

Just PM'd you.  ;)

Hmm no PM here, this has happened a few times now.... Mods?

What are you after?

90_B2 Quattro

Just need the reflectors, I've taken both lights apart and they have 4 individual reflectors.
Do you have all 4 in good undamaged condition?
The ons I have are all stuffed with no chrome stuff on them.
