also you could always look for somewhere in the yellow pages, chrome electroplaters could be place to start there.

No, mine is Powder Coated - As Billcor says, it is probably the better option as it is a much more durable finish with no polishing!!

i thought there was a cheaper one than that on ebay, seems a bit pricey to me, but then you do get the factory look back

 

i'd baulk at that sort of money for what you get, and would spend a bit of time and a tenner on some vht paint from halfords again
