Every Mangusta I have seen has this small trim is gold not chrome. I have never had to reproduce it yet but if I did I think the best way would be to fold some ally strips on a press brake (not a folder) and then have it anodised gold. You would then clear coat it to dull it down a little and it would look just right.
