hehe
my mother gets all her crap done at a1 chrome (i think is the name)
17 mile rocks
There are quite a few places around that do chrome-plating.
What happens is that they plate whatever you got with copper, then chrome-plate the copper. It is somewhat expensive, but can look very nice.
Point of reference: Hot4's magazine issue 92 (i think)
The black Capri is my mums car.

the only bad thing to come out of that place was the fuel door.
The job was done perfectly, but as the guy handed her the door, he went to rub off a greasy fingermark and because he had huge ugly rough hands, he put a scratch over it.
Needless to say, they had to take it back and do it again.
