Apart from the bits that appear up on ebay, is there anwwhere in the uk that has any chrome or polished bits for the corsa, or any of the engines? any photos of corsas from uk with chrome bits fitted, especially to bays!

Think you could take the bits off you want done and take them to a local metal platers. Theres bound to be one somewhere near you.
Or you could just get a tube of autosol and a bag of rags and go mental

what engine would be a start?
tbh, from experience, don't bother. Sure it looks pretty, but its an arse to keep clean, it weighs a bloody tonne, and it emits a LOT more heat in the engine bay which is never good.
from owning a fully chromed XE

If you want small block stuff, it'll need to be custom made.
You can get battery covers etc madeup, but chrome engine parts will need to be custom made

i've been looking into sourcing some chromed up small block bits.
i'm probably going to end up just taking bits off and getting them polished/chromed as and when tbh
