3 ways to do it,

1. Buy a dechrome kit off of a zoner (i believe scott325se has one) and replace like for like.

2. Remove the parts from the car and spray them satin black.

3 Source some vehicle grade vinyl (signwriters will be able to supply this) in satin black and cut strips to fit the trims. Ant has done this, well part of the car, and it looks spot on.

If you really struggle with getting the vinyl locally, Let me know and I'll sort some out for you.
