Where to get one of these?

Chrome/aluminum j-gate shifter surround insert. Parts department said $600, I said pass. Perhaps someone here know where to get one at a good price? Looks a hell of a lot better than the dull black plastic one. Thanks.

$600? $200? What the heck? It's a damn piece of plastic! My chrome is chipping off, I'm thinking of just getting some shiny chrome paint and touching it up.
[EDIT]I guess you are talking about the whole piece that goes under the parking brake button/switch. I was just talking about the chrome piece that goes around the J-gate.

I did not, but thank you for the suggestion. I assumed that since prices on everything else are quite reasonable at the dealer, $600 must be the correct price. She thought that was a ridiculous price too and suggested that perhaps Jaguar did that to keep clients from using Portfolio trim on their cars.
Anyhow, it might be worth a check.

Yet another thing I wish I had done years ago.
What were you trying to do?

The pic is not from my car, but since I did not take any before pics, I am using it as an example. On all models but the Portfolio it is dull black plastic with a thin lip of chrome touching the wood. When I saw it on a Portfolio, I knew I had to have it, but not for the $600 price tag parts said it cost. Besides it is polished alloy on the Portfolio and dulls easily. Chrome is better
