Best get the whole F&Fs re-chromed then you will have an even new finish over the whole frame (you wont be able to get just the drop outs re-chromed) and where they are repaired, it will lift off the existing chrome to leave a jagged edge. Send it up to Biagio, he will repair the drop outs and sort the chroming, does an excellent job http://www.vert-ego.com/
