chrome reflects....:)
so palce a bitmap or a falloff in the reflection slot of the chrome material.

errmmmm ok im confused can u be more persific plzzzz

well in your scene you have basically 3 textures.
The blue thing....the glass and the chrome.
For the chrome texture....look down in the material editor and you`ll see a reflection slot.Pick map and then pick bitmap....then search for an appropriate bitmap to use.
For the chrome you`ll want a strength of about 80%
Use the sme reflection map for the glass material....as it reflects also...but less than chrome....so use say 30 or 20 percent.
Once you`ve applied your reflection maps....then go to modifiers panel for the glass and chrome objects and give each a cylinder wrapping map.

hope this helps

ok. first of all hy TGO.
Here is my sugestion:
I can't see the thickness of the glass cylinder so I'd say you should add refraction to it (no more than 15 strength). I've attached an example. It has -12 - reflection (Raytraced - it reflects a map... you can choose the one that fits your needs)
-7 refraction (Raytraced - Use enviroment)
-10% opacity.
