Can anyone recomend a company that will straighten chrome bumpers? preferably in east anglia but I will travel for a pukka job.
Also the bumpers on the Sapporo are three piece and I'm looking for somebody who can make and chrome the corner sections.
I'm Just thinking about the corners for now as they're quite hard to come by, I've got a NOS n/s/r one but all my o/s/r one are wibblepoo
Any help highly appreciated. Thanks.

Wouldn't it be less hassle (and cheaper) to make up the sections you guys need then have them chromed? A specialist will no doubt hit you with some sort of tale about how tricky they are and take all your money. (Stuyizz, like the Sapporos!)

Good point, but they are tricky to make (for me anyway) hence the need of a good specialist |

Who should I say sent me as it might sound a bit odd if I say "Tailgate lifter gave me your number" ;D Thanks again. Thats not quite as stupid an idea as it first sounds, the price you could sell some of that guys work for in this country would make him the pimp daddy of the east  |

It was a one off "back door tax" which killed lots of smaller platers because the time scale between getting told about it and having to stump up the cash was tiny. Supposedly for enviromental reasons, but how does shafting a small buisness help the enviroment? It was along the same lines as Gorden browns "one off" pension rape! W**kers! |
