It would be cheaper to get a new one from Rare spares.

A lot of the finishing places have minimum charges of around $70-100, so you can't just pop into your local chrome plater and get it done on the cheap. You would need to find probably a specialist chrome plater who does small things for the automotive industry; some of the plastic chroming places may be able to help as they are set up for very small runs and ergo much less of a cost.

doin a chrome plating apprenticeship as we speak, in hard chrome not decorative that u will need but from what i understand u should be able to get them rechromed for around $50-60 but a high quality job will be round $100, but as mick said if there stainless it should be just a quick polish
