| I would go with chrome painting, it cost me 80$ a wing, plastic chroming was like 400$ a wing. Cheaper to buy steel. Although make sure you get a blue tint to the chrome paint. Most chrome paint is a "white" chrome.

Location: Sydney, Australia | Shares some nice cars on FB but the translation isn't spot on so some times it doesn't make sense. Really nice guy and will help with suggestions if you get stuck... Sells quite a lot of models and repo stuff..
I'm eventually getting mine chrome plated. I have the bumpers without the wing holes and Mano's comes with the bolt in the wings so working out how to line the wings up to the bumper to get the hole correct...
