Default 2001 Mk1 75 saloon chrome boot handle

Hello,
Someone had gone heavy on the polishing on my recent purchases boot handle and the chrome has thinned to show a goldy brass underneath.

Has anyone had one re-chromed??

Otherwise I'd like to buy a replacement if it's in excellent condition.

Thanks
Paul

It's plastic, don't know how it's brass underneath 🤔

Default Base coat

Hi,
Well maybe a base coat, the chrome finish has been rubbed/polished through and underneath it's a goldy colour

Wondered if you could get the full chrome grilles re-coated too?!
