If its new in the packaging, then it won't be chrome under the colour.  You could strip it and have the alloy mirror polished, that would look cool. You would have to keep it polished up though.....  :)

I have a Silver one in as good as new condition, I'll swap you if interested.

If you strip it you will also have to get the Redline decal.

It was NOS when I got the Haro, and has been wrapped and stored for coming up 2 years.

I can get more pictures, let me know please.

Thanks.
