is the grill metal or plastic?

metal is easy enough to rechrome as long as it isnt too badly pitted

Plastic chroming (vacuum metallising) is a different process altogether and could be quite costly

the zj/xd were plastic :( i might have to find some chrome tape or something, where would that be available haha
might be a dodgy option but i dont have a choice unless i find some brilliant ones, but theres not even any swap meets anymore, bloody ebay ruins everything haha
