I still think Nut Brown would have been a great colour - now I will never know.
Great and nut brown should not be used in the same sentence  ;)

Whereas nut and brown quite appropriately go together! 😜😜🤭🫢

New chrome shrouds Paul or replated?. If the latter they've done a superb job as they were bloody far gone and really pitted. I'd imagine Prestige if that's the case.
