Hi guy,
I am faced with the same dilemma on my 62MKII roadster. I called the only
place that offered chrome plating in the local phone book and they wanted
$250 apiece to rechrome each bumper !!! I was astounded....The existing
bumpers are not that bad on my vehicle so I decided to keep them as is for
now. But in the future when I do replace them I will probably go the brand
new route. I never realized that rechroming was so expensive. Its
ridiculous.......
