I thought I'd give my new headlight reflector a quick polish with Autosol while I was assembling it. I don't recommend it, it took the silvering completely off.

Nickel plating for headlight rims
http://www.cirelectroplating.co.uk/nickel-plating/
minimum fee is £25 so buying new would probably be cheaper.

I managed to get a new pattern reflector back for glass. Not 100% as good fit as my original but will do, better than bining the original glass front. One of the complete chrome back and front types.
