Hi

Just so I've got an idea what I should expect to pay, how much would it cost to get two bumpers and under riders re chromed?
Or should I just buy new?

Thanks
Josh

A LOT.

I have been quoted up to £250 PER BUMPER before...

re-chroming is seriously over-priced.

Just get new mate,

Re-Chroming is bloody hard to do and get a good finish so would be much easier and cheaper to just buy new.

I am having an early mk1 morris grille done and it will be £150, also have some original mk1 5 bolt bumpers but not had price for those yet, will probably buy new ones if I can find some quality ones, but the grille I had no choice as they are not available repro.
New chrome parts however are very poor quality compared to properly rechromed items, the stainless ones are probably better, as yours is a clubman looks like rechroming may be viable.

Thanks. I don't want to put standard mini rear bumper on as I'd like to keep the clubman theam.

I'll have to get some quotes I suppose lol
