Can anybody recommend durable number plate surrounds, either chrome
effect or bright metal? Standard size. The plastic ones I had lost their
finish within a year or so and the metal ones are quite rusty.

I have a 'chrome' one which came from Halfords many years ago. Still looks
as new on a car which lives outside.

I dunno if it is chrome or SS, but is metal.

Thanks. They're Richbrook stainless steel, so should be worthwhile. A
couple of quid cheaper on eBay, which will also save me the 15+ mile
round trip to my nearest Halfrauds.

That would explain it lasting so well. The new numberplate fitted at the
same time is looking a bit sorry for itself. ;-)

Aldi have some for £2.99, not sure what they're like but they appeared on
their website today when i searched for 'plants', along with pants, paint,
dinner plates and for some reason, shoes

That search facility seems to be about as sensible as B&Q's. "Chromed
ABS" doesn't sound too clever. "...will look great on your car."?
Probably for about a week.

Thanks for the tip, but I've already ordered a pair of Richbrooks on eBay.
