Default How to improve your STI gear surround
My STI gear surround was looking dull and worn with a few scratches and i had enquired about getting it chromed but i had silly £££ quotes so i thought id try to give it a polish, what a surprise on how good it came up.
Its now scratch free and looks like it has been chromed
