Clean before you post pics - before! 
I have my chrome one listed for $200 but nobody expressed interest. Yours is in nicer condition.
I recommend that you order a little tub of this stuff on amazon.

I knew those pics would get under your skin Markos, but trust me I didn’t do it with that intention! Quick-glo ordered, and in the mean time I have some other concoctions that work pretty well. Looks like it may be a good day to stay inside anyway.

Never had early chromed one, but had spare aluminium that sold on ebay for 50 EUR (part had some surface scratches, but no dents & no additional holes), was sold only after couple months.
Gave my chrome one away to someone I thought needed it more than I did. He had it rechromed and it looked awesome.
Anyone on the east coast...? I have just a few pieces that need re-chroming.... obviously, like it to be right if you're going to the effort in the first place...and reasonably...awesome sounds pretty good...
What should it cost to rechrome just the rear (brass) trim piece, i.e., w/out any repairs?

I just got a brass panel polished and rechromed. There were pits and a few dents removed also. Cost me $130 in the Ft. Lauderdale area. I never liked the USA side lights on my '72 2002 and now my '73 Coupe will have the bumper lights.
Mine went West and needed a little filling for two little imperfections.
it is very interesting to see this heavier probably brass part chromed
it has not the cutout for the fog light, is it possible to be an early 2800 car part ? EURO, US, both ?
Not all Euro Spec cars have the fog light cutout. My CSi was delivered to Palermo Italy in 1972 and was delivered without a rear for light.
Would you happen to know how the chromed brass version came about? Was it an option, a trim line, or only available for certain models or years?
That is just the way they came early on.
Sean, told you that quik Glo is good stuff, thanks to @Markos got me and @clinton stokes hooked on that stuff. Great on chrome.
Things start to make sense when you factor in cost saving evolution over time. Aluminum instead of chroming. Plastic grille instead of aluminum. Black wipers instead of chrome/stainless.

Good morning,
I wanted to check in to see if the heavier chromed panel was still available. I have a 73CS and am in need of a replacement panel (license plate lights are long gone, and the 6 extra holes look awkward). If needed, I could PM with additional information.
Thanks!

I just sent you a PM.
