AHHHHHH!

I've had the chrome bumper strips damaged on the side of my Passat but what I think must have been a trolly or something else.

the door (rear off side) is otherwise undamaged.

Does anyone know if it's necessary to have the strip removed to have it re-chrome (how difficult / expensive is this?) or can it be fixed whilst still on the car.

my beautiful car's beauty is marred and I am sad
