I found a couple of dents in the passenger side chrome trim. Is it possible to remove dents from those or how easy is it to remove & replace one? The part is £120

To be fair quite difficult to replace them because they seems to be glued together with window seals (if I imagine the part correctly).

Because I was able to polish them (meaning they are actually metal), then I assume they could be straightened with PDR. The cost will be similar to new peace, but won't require messing around with epoxy and on top of that just fitting it itself caul cause dents. I assume in factory they use some sort of purpose made jigs to fit it in one go and straight, doing it by hand would probably make it look worse then it already is.

I reckon its a guy in the factory with a rubber mallet bangs them in place with one hit, knows exactly how to do it because he did 84 wrong ones before he got the ‘knack’

I knew that the qtr glass & chrome trim were one piece, I hoped the other part unclipped or something. I will ask the local bodyshop about dent removal.
