Reconditioning chrome etc (the shiny bits!)

[mook]

Neither are stainless. The headlight surrounds are anodised aluminium and could be cleaned with Autosol or Blue Magic etc. Don't polish too hard or you will go through the anodising and will have to polish them for the rest of you life. The Wiper Grill/Scuttle should be painted body colour to be original. It was a common practice to chrome plate them as a custom thing. Again Autosol Metal Polish will do the job so long as it's not too rusty.
We used to sell these on an exchange basis and advised people to have them 2 pak clear coated.

The headlight surrounds, are they bright anodized or satin?
