Bald Rick Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 David I would have thought that by the time you have found good straight second hand bumpers and had the re-polised and properly plated there would be little difference from the price of stainless ones.

trt74 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Hi David, I've recently fitted SS steel bumpers ( from the Harrington Group) to my TR6 and am very happy with them. They are a good fit, very well made and highly polished. They were shipped and delivered by DHL without any problems. A bonus is the fact that they can be easily repaired should they get dented . Cheers, Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tony Millward Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I could have bought these instead of paying more to have mine un-dented and chromed... Ahh well, we live and learn. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dykins Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Guy Would love to see a picture of the rear of your car without a bumper. Are you going to put "spots" on the front "towel rail" or are you leaving it as it is? Regards Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Problem for me in fitting spots is that they may obscure some of the number plate and or indicator, so will probably leave as is for time being.

Joseph Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 I replace mine last year and have a set (front and Back with medallion bars 1972 TR6) I would like to donate them to someone. On a scale of 1 to 10 the bumpers are an 8. The medallion bars are in worse shape and I would only give them a 4. Let me know if you are intrested. Joseph in Lockport NY.

dykins Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Re the stainless steel alternative In the current Practical Classics magazine, in the "our cars" section, one of the guys has just fitted a set of stainless bumpers from Harrington on to his Daimler SP250. He describes them as arriving quickly, fitting very well and looking superb. When I need some bumpers, I will certainly go the stainless option. Regards Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
