Default chromed breather tanks - pics please

I am going to replace my breather tank I think as it's scratched and generally letting the side down, I really want to buy one thats chromed as they are easier to look after, does anyone have any pics of chromed ones, not mirror image tanks as I still use my airbox

I've considered the colour coding option but I am not sure
The tank in that pic is loose hence the angle Adam but well spotted
I would quite like one of the thinner tanks but the ones I have seen GGR Spec R etc seem to have different fittings

mat mate depends what your looking for i have a slim one waiting to go on mine, its crackled and has quip fittings .... if your after a smaller one any good alloy company can make one with the fittings you want for around the same price as a new one Ł80-Ł100 or your forge one can be chromed or painted the cars colour, OR a smaller one could be too... Its all down to what you actually want???

I have struggled to find chroming companies that would actually be willing to chrome it ? but that is an option - anyone recommend somewhere I could send it please

Mart - do you not think that colour coding will be a bit much, I was thinking Chrome to break it up a bit

No mate it would actually benefit the balance of your bay after looking at the pics again, as you have the airbox lid and heat shield which dominate the hot side but not too much down the cold side.

I am with Marin on this, one bit of chrome will look out of place. I think colour coding would looks very good.
