WHAT IS DECHROMING?

Dechroming, also known as chrome delete is the process of covering your vehicle's factory chrome trim with precision cut vinyl wrap. Window surrounds, grilles, badges, door handles and other chrome elements are carefully wrapped in your choice of finish, creating a sleeker, more modern appearance.

This is the same look that manufacturers charge thousands for under names like the Mercedes Night Pack, Audi Black Edition or BMW Shadowline package. Our professional dechrome service delivers the same factory quality result at a fraction of the cost, and because it's vinyl rather than paint, it's completely reversible, perfect if your car is leased or financed.

We use only premium automotive grade vinyl from Arlon, 3M and Avery Dennison, applied with the precision and expertise that earned us the UK's first Arlon Elite Installer accreditation in both Fleet and Restyling.

CHOOSE YOUR FINISH

Every chrome delete starts with choosing the right finish. Each creates a completely different character.

Dechrome Finish Options

Gloss Black
Mirror-like depth — our most popular choice. Matches the Mercedes Night Pack and Audi Black Edition look.
Satin Black
Smooth, understated sheen. A premium feel without high reflectivity. Works brilliantly on lighter vehicles.
Matte Black
Completely flat, non-reflective. Stealthy and blacked-out. Striking on darker vehicles.
Carbon Fibre
Textured weave for a sporty, motorsport-inspired edge. Popular on Audi RS and BMW M cars.
01
Assess
We inspect every chrome element on your vehicle and discuss exactly which pieces you'd like wrapped. We'll recommend the best finish and provide a clear, fixed quote.
02
Prep
All surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and degreased for perfect adhesion. Edges and recesses are carefully primed. This preparation is what separates a professional job from a DIY attempt.
03
Wrap
Premium vinyl is precision-applied by our Arlon Elite-accredited installers. Each piece is heated, stretched and conformed into every contour so the finish looks factory, not aftermarket.
04
Inspect
Every vehicle goes through a final quality check under studio lighting. Every edge sealed, every corner checked, every seam seamless. It only leaves when we're satisfied.

Dechroming FAQs

  • The cost of dechroming depends on how many chrome elements you'd like wrapped and the complexity of your vehicle. A window surround dechrome typically starts from around £150–£250, while a full chrome delete package covering all exterior trim is usually between £400–£700. We provide a fixed quote before any work begins. Contact us with your vehicle details for an accurate price.

  • Most chrome delete jobs are completed the same day. A standard window surround dechrome takes around 2–3 hours, while a full vehicle dechrome may take a full day. On larger or more complex vehicles we may need to keep the car overnight. We'll always confirm timescales when we quote.

  • Absolutely. While the vast majority of customers choose gloss black and we'd always recommend it for the cleanest factory look, you can choose from satin black, matte black, carbon fibre, or virtually any other colour and finish in the Arlon, 3M or Avery Dennison range. We're happy to advise on what will suit your vehicle best.

  • We exclusively use premium automotive-grade vinyl which is designed to last 5–7 years under normal conditions. The lifespan depends partly on how the vehicle is cared for, regular hand washing and avoiding abrasive chemicals will keep the finish looking its best.

  • Yes, all of our vinyl dechrome wraps are 100% removable. When removed professionally, the wrap leaves your original chrome trim completely untouched and undamaged underneath. This makes chrome delete wraps ideal for leased or financed vehicles, enjoy the blacked-out look for the duration of your lease and return the car to standard specification before handing it back.

  • In many cases, yes. Manufacturer options like the Mercedes Night Pack, Audi Black Edition or BMW Shadowline package can cost £1,000–£3,000+ as a factory extra, and they're permanent. A professional vinyl chrome delete achieves virtually the same look at a fraction of the price, protects the original chrome, and can be removed or changed whenever you like. We regularly dechrome vehicles for main dealers who want the black pack look without the manufacturer surcharge.

  • We dechrome all makes and models. Our most popular include the Audi A3, A4, A5, RS3, RS5, Q3 and Q5; Mercedes A-Class, C-Class, E-Class, GLC and GLE; BMW 3 Series, 4 Series and X3; Range Rover Evoque and Sport; Volkswagen Golf, Tiguan and T-Roc; Mini Cooper and Countryman; and Porsche Cayenne and Macan. If your vehicle has chrome, we can wrap it.

  • We're based in Lincolnshire and serve customers across Grimsby, Cleethorpes, Hull, Scunthorpe, Lincoln, Doncaster, Sheffield, York, Leeds and beyond. We also offer nationwide installation for fleet and trade customers.
