ive just put some silver on mine, as said it comes in 4 parts so easy to put on even give you 4 extra in case you mess up.
i cleaned the edge of my rims with meths first .
was easy as i had both the wheels out for new tyres.

heres a pic.


cheers mark.

funny when i first saw this thread yesterday, I thought that the dog was a pot bellied pig( but thought I were being insulting to poor doggie so didn't comment)

Oh and that pipe on bike above is very shiny......I may have a rival for the shiniest downpipe
