It's hard to explain the aesthetic. It's like mixing silver and gold jewelry (which I'm wearing right now so ...).
I just feel with the rich green and subtle gold with either chrome or brass it's just going to clash.
OTOH hand hammered copper just might work, warm enough to enhance the gold.
My vote is if you want something not so thief drool magnet worthy get plain black plastic fenders. But why uglify this gorgeous bike? This is a beautiful beautiful bike and remodel, there's nothing can hide that. So why not make Fern as beautiful as she can be?
Enjoy your bike, ride lots and inspire others when they see how gorgeous a customized bike can be.
Just keep her locked, in your sight, or under your @zz.
