Tescos are selling turkey foil, maybe buy some and cover them in it to see how rubbish it would look Wink

Failing that see if there is a local vehicle wrapping company who could put on a chrome wrap on the rails Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Chrome will look crap unless the surface is absolutely perfectly smooth. I would go for a satin finish. Take all the parts to an electroplater. Check what thickness they can do as you need the plating thick enough.

The snap on plastic covers may be an issue as you need to flex them into position.

You could look at silver powder coating.

This gentleman, Bryan608 already has them in his FL2 so maybe get in contact with him and see if he knows where to get them.
I'm pretty sure they're available on ebay.
