So,
After thinking long and hard about where to send my best bumpers away for chroming I made the decision to use a company 500kays
from where I live, great choice and very happy with myself I thought.
After a few phone calls and I'll ring you when I get back in the office I started getting worried, its been 5 months now !!!! Oh shit there they go never to be seen again.
Anger starts creeping in and I decide if I don't get a response I'm driving down and picking them up.
Today a massive surprise they have arrived ! and I must say absolutely flawless, I am happy as a pig in mud and some.
Regards Greg

They look great, did they strip the old chrome and prep?

The bumpers were stripped and repaired then chromed old school.
What I mean is copper plated then nickel then chrome, hence the correct term triple plated.
The job was done at Albury chrome and they will even arrange a courier to pick up and deliver if needed.
To be honest I was probably a little anxious with the time frame but I'm so glad I waited because the job is fantastic.

Wow Greg
Very tidy mate. I’m guessing your kickdown is electronic. The dash is stunning.

Hey mate very very neat your wiring is very nicely done and much better than mine and love the dash where did you get your gauges.
It's a great day when you fire them up, I couldn't wipe the grin off my face for days
