Did you re-chrome the rims on the dials or did you get away with just scraping off the black paint?

the dails rims where in very bad shape,the paint came off.
And parts where oxidised.
So i had the choice or re-paint them,or to get new rims on and check them.
I went to a VDO dealer and he asked me if i would have black ones or chrome ones.
He also told me that the chrome ones would last longer.
So they became chrome.and he checked if they where working.

Looking really good, well done! Have you decided what you are going to do with the seats yet? I think this car was tweed & leather originally.
