Re-chroming bumpers

[937carrera]

My front bumper is pretty rusty on the top, and though the rear looks quite nice, it does have signs of rust below the rubber trim line.

I would say that the front in particular is well beyond the Solvol Autosol stage, so, do any of you have any recommendations for places who do re-chroming.......... and any indication of price, I have a feeling I will need to be sitting down when I hear

It cost me £500 to get 2 NOS Bumpers re plated at Cumbria Plating 4 years ago. Unfortunately they sold out to a new owner who only does industrial plating now. Have you thought about new stainless steel bumpers. I often wonder if that is what I should have bought. I think they worked out cheaper than buying NOS bumpers and having them rechromed.

quality chrome in hull, which isn't to far from yourself. I recall I got around 650 quoted for my fasty bumpers. Must have been 4 years ago now Ive had a lot of work done by them and its all be top draw!

for £650 you can buy new bumpers from Germany, well they are actually used/re-chromed but the quality is great!

I'm glad I was sat down

Marko, do you have a link for the German ones. Did you buy some ?

Delighted to hear of other potential sources and feedback, good or bad

forgot you have a Type 4 and don't think they have bumpers for those but here's the link to Type 3 bumpers if anybody else needs them..
