Early Series Bumperette Wanted

Now that my car is (nearly) done I discovered that one of the bumperettes isn't straight...too bad I didn't notice that before I had them chromed!

I need 1 early series bumperette...doesn't have to be nice as I will have it chromed to match the rest of the car.... just needs to be straight and not pitted.
 
Bumperettes aka overriders? I have a box full. Will post pictures later today.
Curious - how much does it cost to get one chromed?

I know you have chromed the others....so the money is spent... And doing 1 more matching is logical option...but... The later overriders are a lot less dominant on the car... And it's not like you're are going for originality....

Fair enough.. in have them on my series II ..but always have an inclination to switch to theatrr style so it's not such a 50s look... The Alpines used a clean simple design and moved away from ornamental design details.. the early overriders always felt a bit at odds with that.
 
These are my 5 best. #1 has the bolt broken and arrows pointing to very small dents.

The chromer I use charged me $25 per overrider the last time I had some done. It was a couple of years ago.

That's seems super reasonable...
What type of plating...how many plates and what were the base coatings?

They have 3 grades of finish from daily driver to show car. I chose the least expensive for my Series II because it’s a daily driver. I can’t remember the details of the plating process but they look very nice. They also removed some small dents included in the price.
