Except that you do not get as good a lustre from polished stainless as you do from chrome.At this point, given chroming prices, unless originality is absolutely essential for pedantic reasons, I now longer believe there is a strong case for re-chroming original bumpers. The new steel reproductions can be had for the same or less money even.

I should’ve been clearer - I didn’t mean the stainless ones, I was referring to the chromed steel ones now plentifully available. With those in circulation, rechroming originals doesn’t much financial sense, especially once you include additional work like removing surface rust inside, getting any dings sorted, etc.Except that you do not get as good a lustre from polished stainless as you do from chrome.
Has there been a general consensus on which companies make good quality well fitting ones?I was referring to the chromed steel ones now plentifully available.
Is this the Harrington ones?those companies now offer a chromed service on top of the stainless-steel. I negociated a members' price for our club here
True and why those companies now offer a chromed service on top of the stainless-steel. I negociated a members' price for our club here and I wouldn't bother rechroming - hassle, more expensive and I've been let down in the past by the lasting quality.
Sell your second-hand bumpers and buy new !
That said, there is an aurgument for remaining true to originality...
Preet - if you guys sent some (even shagged, rusted) examples to one of these companies, they'd produce them....the problems is perhaps quantities and the sheer varieties used on different saloon/estate/coupés and then different year models. You guys' problem is not that there weren't enough cars sold (I'm sure plenty more than S30s), more that they've not survived for diverse reasons.
I'd like to see a stainless kit to convert 280ZXs but that'll never happen.
No. We had some fitment issues for the rear of a 2+2 and corrected their measurements - all ok now...they just need some constructive feedback.Is this the Harrington ones?
How much did you get the members price down to?

Why don't you email me anymore like a mate ?
And why isn't anyone in this club negociating with various suppliers ?
Hi Rob
Is the place reasonably local to you, I need to get a couple of bumpers rechromed shortly.
Regards
John
We are - I got GAZ discount, waiting for someone to get me some bumpers for £50
