Well, it is possible, but it is so difficult to do, that I got quoted $450.00.
Do you really want ( need ) chrome grill for that price?

(I have really good friend who works in restoration shop for very old automobiles, like Hispano Suiza, Bugatti etc. They sometimes make some parts for these cars only from old photos. He has connections for shops where they do chrome plate plastic parts. Also he can make me one from aluminium and chrome plated it, but his "custom" grille will cost me 2 grand. I guess he is not realy that good friend after all...)
