How much did the re chrome cost you?

How much did the re chrome cost you?

it was 400$CAD (about £220) total to get the bumper along with the right underider fixed (both where damaged in the accident) and the 3 pieces re-chromed. i'm not sure what was the cost of just the chrome. i could get the 2 rear bumpers chromed but i have a feeling it will cost less to buy them (if i can find some!)

What hoses are they? I feel like having something a bit more fancy than standard black, but there is no way I want blue silicon.. these seem to be the ideal mix.

[Saxo-Fiesta-Mini]

theyre black samcos if im not wrong

[Mart!]

indeed you are right, black samco's bought via ebay that took FOREVER to arrive. seems everybody only stock red and blue, whatever other color is a "special" order and means you will have to wait. that said, the guy did mention it on his ebay add.

if you're in a hurry and dont want to pay so much (they are quite expensive) i found silicon tape sold as rolls at my hardware store, i used it to wrap my entire wiring loom. it might look good over regular rubber hoses, less annoying samco logos everywhere!

Do you have to happen the ebay ID of the bloke who sells them? cheers

"amberper" - their ebay store is "amber performance" or buy straight from samco's distributors: http://www.samcospor...istributors.asp
