I'm not sure how well a chrome vinyl wrap would work but having seen the Bond car at Donington - close up the finish was pretty poor in my opinion but then I suppose it only had to look good for camera. I'd be surprised if you could get a finish even close to that of true chrome.
For anyone interested in chrome bumpers you need to find a company that does 'vacuum metalisation' and on a scale that you could get a whole bumper into their machine. Not sure how well it would come out these days though I am certain the process must have improved from back in the day. I recall Lotus attempts at doing (presumably using a supplier) this were not very succesful hence chrome bumpers were rare.
