Rechroming

[Chinski]

Hi, any recommendations on where I can get my bumpers re chromed in yorkshire? I guess the other question is around how much would front and rear bumpers would cost to be re chromed? All comments are appreciated.

I used them a few years ago and was very impressed.

Have a look at Peter's blog on the LD Part website.

There's a firm he's had very good experience with - can't remember the area, but from his recommendation, I'd definately be considering them had I such a need

What would be a realistic price for rechroming both bumpers?

I came to the conclusion that recroming vs new stainless bumpers the stainless came out on top well it did for me.
If you get them chromed from S and T in Bristol regards as one of the best I would say £1500 plus however they are crafty by giving rough estimates. The rear quarters are always slightly rotten and that will bump it up if they have to fill.
I do love the originality of chrome but I came across a old Alfa that had original stainless bumpers and thought it suited the stag seeing as stainless is used throughout the stag.
There are always cheaper alternatives regards chroming companies and some price higher when they know the car involved crafty but true in some places.
Have a look at stainless is my advice.

Thanks Edd, cost is definitely a factor due to the amount that the car is costing

£1500 is not an option just for the bumpers and it appears the stainless ones are around £800, which is also more that I want to spend.

I'll get a couple of quotes from local places to see how they compare. Anyone used the following place before?

I had my rear bumper (including over riders & number plate light holder) re-chromed at Prestige Mexborough in November 2014. Excellent job less than £300
