    my 328 is perfect in every respect except the the prancing horse on the back looks like tarnished silver...i have tried all kinds of metal polishers but nothing seems to work...anyone out there have a solution?..

    I had my Cavallinos re-chromed by these guys:

    Wheel Concepts - Alan Georgetti - 805-376-2113

    Here's how my rear emblem looked when done. About $60 each.

    Great shot of the prancing horse, Michael. Mind if I use that for my personal use (no sales or exhibition or printing or anything like that, just maybe if I use it as my "Avatar" or send to a friend or something). Just thought it would be polite to ask first.
    Thanks!

    I buffed mine out fairly well with a metal polish that comes in a metal can, is fibrous, you tear off pieces. I'm at work and can't recall the name....

    I had mine rechromed some years back - I subsequently found that it is cheaper to buy new badges...

    Most of the UK suppliers have these badges listed.

    I still like the first one. The lighting looks like a spotlight from the gods or something.

    Tarn-X at your local hardware store or Walmart. Put a dab on a rag corner and rub it on carefully. Might be the cheapest solution - $5.

    Sometimes a good scrub with a soap pad like Brillo or SOS will bring chrome parts back around to looking good again.
