Thanks to Ged for putting up last weekend's challenge.

His and Her Royal Highness' Rolls Royce
I've just realized that I missed a trick and should have given the cars custom regos. I did get lucky with the let vehicle's windscreen though. The original background of the window is almost perfectly aligned with the Buck Palace fence stanchions. That was pure accident.
Jewellery for nerdy geeks. They could make one of these with tiny plastic Donald Trumps, and call it a 'Charmless Bracelet'.
This is much nicer using the better chess pieces drawn by Dave than the one that went into SFTW120. Nicely done, @Dean_Utian !

Graham, thank you very much for your kindness in asking what I needed, way back on the 20th, and I apologize for my failing to give an answer; I simply had no clue what to say.
Even before your asking I had realized that I was unsure, and that getting rid of the black background was far from enough in any case, just a first thought caused by my worrying whether I should have the time to work things out.
Already before this SFTW I was caught up in recurring emergencies, the worst kind being multiple discoveries of frozen burst piping, revealed as thawing set in, with follow up work to keep up heating, in between working on quite different emergency tasks for others; this was the reason for my asking in the first place.
Since then I have kept returning to this crucial task whenever possible, mostly during the dark hours, and I have had to work out new ways (at least new to me).
With regard to the reflexions, I have done my best, hoping to recolour in a tolerable way that is neither overdoing nor underdoing it.
Below, I have added a golden king and a silver queen on either side on a funny and slightly perilous chessboard, for comparison.
As I have (mis)interpreted it, both queens have stronger reflexions than has the king corresponding to whiter even for the golden one unless she is more colourful, and yet the strongest reflexions of the king are whiter than those of the golden queen, and hers also has a similar overall tinge, as I see them.
