Default louvers

I'm trying to find original hood louvers for 2001 XKR, once I get them thinking of chrome plating them. I'm not into the after market ones. So where would be a good place to find them. I've tried ebay

Hi
I'm thinking about this as well. Ebay UK has a few pairs available.
How are you planning to get the chrome plating job done?

Just be aware Shadow, the louvers are plastic, so they can not be chrome plated like steel or aluminum, however, there are "chrome" paints out there, that very well simulate real chrome plating. let us know how things turn out.

Cheers,
BK
