Re chroming is expensive. I know Nas got some quote up north, where it was cheaper, but still cost a fair chunk of cash.

I cant remember if it was £300 or £250 just for the rear bumper. it certainly made a difference getting it done though, shiny chrome mmm

Classic Chrome in Hinckley (where the Triumph bike come from)

They charged me £180 for an 1985 SL rear bumper (3 parts) + £60 for an E21 front corner.

Whilst the centre & other corner were ok I now wish I'd had them done at the same time as the rechromed part looks so new!
