The thing is chrome has been given the bad reputation by Barry and his boys. Just like Burberry has been given the bad image by chavs, when in fact Burberry is a top end clothes designer.
Some small chrome, in certain places looks

But when you start chroming BIG stuff like the grill, wing mirrors, alloys and all it just looks too much. Think of it like Mr T and his gold...It's too much where as some gold, a ring, necklace maybe or a wrist band is decent and looks good.
My honest opinion? It looks cacks, as I said...too much chrome looks pants. But chrome in certain areas like interior door pulls, door pins,
or like this
