We recromed the bumpers, and assembled them again, that was really hard, but my dad has the patience to did it.

Recromed mirror

Well for the crome i spent something like 260$, the two bumpers complete. The mirror wasnt that easy, it was really ugly, rusted and all, i first broke the glass, cause it was bad, then we disassembled the mirror, the part that holds the glass, from the rest, they cromed the second and polish the first one, then to assemble again we make a thread (im not sure thats the word) to use a bolt to put togheder the two parts, if you want my opinion the work i did was nice, the crome was good but the original part was rusted, so is not soft it has an iregular feeling, the glass was really easy to get, and is not expensive, like 3$ with the glue to put it again.
The crome here is not too good, the bumpers were cromed one year ago, and in the ends they started to decrome again.
P.D: If you want i can try to explain with more detail how i did to assemble the mirror again.

Aitor,
Only if you have the time to write about your mirror. I am trying to get mine restored, but I have not clue as how to go about it.
