Metal trim

I have a ugly hole in my bonnet where my exhaust exits, I'm looking to get a piece of metal cut to shape and
Either polished or chrome looking like coated

Anyone know of a place u can get the metal
Cut and plated?

My mate made mine for me - I just gave him a piece of wood which was cut to shape of the hole and he knocked it up for me.
It's polished aluminium, then silkofixed it to the fibreglass.

Send over a wooden template and ill get him to make you one in exchange for some beer tokens.

Image is in my archive
