The chrome on my car is pretty well knackered now and I dont know what to do with it, noone on here seems to have any to sell me

Do I debumper it?

Do I shadowline it?

What have you all done. I do like the chrome on 21s but mine is ruined

that is an early model valance with closed bumper mounts holes...
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.

yes
I took the corner at high speed, came in the ditch, drove straight through a garden, flipped over 4 times and then I lost control of my steering-wheel!

If you can find one, a BMW motorsport front airdam replaces the front bumper and valance and looks pretty tough too. Fairly flexible plastic too, so can stand a nudge without bending metal or cracking.
