Thanks for that info - I have tracked down a 3M product here in Oz that they use for super wall graphics that is thin - about a third the thickness of normal graphic vinyls.

It is offered in a full chrome effect apparently and pretty reasonably priced in the quantities I would need.

So I will post pics once I do mine if it is any good and then there is another product to add to the option list when doing this work. It should be noted it is not from what the technical support person at 3M told me, sold as a thin strip.

Like the one from Prism Graphics, it will need cutting to a width - this is fine as it needs to be trimmed anyway on installation - however I am pretty certain it is not that product from 3M.

We will see ...

My chrome strips are OK, but someone should check out 3M polyester film tape (in mylar silver) #850B. It comes in three widths (up to 1/2") and seems perfectly suited in recovering the chrome strips. A 72 yard roll has costs about $20 and should easily do 10 cars. We used it to blank out margins on 35mm slides (it is very heat resistant and thin).--Jim

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
