Chromed bumpers with dents and deficencies
As I seen ebayers are willing to pay ALOT for the chromed bumpers, at least when in good nick, but will the price sink like a rock if it has two holes on top or is missing parts?

If they are only missing the end caps then thats not so much a problem as they can be sourced.
I used to own a mk1 - well I've had 2 actually - YDU 720X & SMU 420Y. Currently I drive an 98 Scotia White Mitsubishi Evolution V RS…. fancy getting another mk1 someday

If someone has access to cheap chroming, they could weld up the holes in 5 mins!
Alternatively, there could be someone out there who wants chrome bumpers and spotlamps mounted on them - Hey presto, ready drilled holes!

Remember how fickle fashion is though - if you hang about, you might end up with bumpers you can't shift if you leave it for a few months or so…

Might be worth taking them to a place that restores old bikes/cars and does their own chroming. Ask how much to weld a plate over the hole and chrome 'em - you'd find it woulnd't cost too much and I bet freshly re-chromes bumpers would fetch a mint in todays market.

Or sell them now and let someone else deal with the hassle of getting them restored 8)
