The price of chrome bumpers is going crazy!

 8O ?580 8O

Somebody has spent ?580 on some extruded bits of metal with plastic end caps! For another ?20 you could have done what Nody did and snap up a campaign (jammy git)!  

Is the world going mad?

Thats a bit steep. Even to look the part I wouldn't pay that on principal (and for being tight!!)

Dan

8O absolutely insane!

You could probably scratch build them for less!!

I wouldn't mind being in the sellers shoes tho!

i must get down the scrap yards and start hunting

When was the last time you saw a new set for sale?

They are become really hard to find - I'm sure pattern ones will be available at some point.

I've never seen a new set for sale I must admit but even so it's a joke.
Imagine when all the pattern chrome bumpes come out you would be gutted if you forked out that much just to be hip at the shows.

I'm sticking with plastics! Chrome would look naff on a series 2 anyway.  

Take a look at other classics erm… the MGB for example the plastic bumpers are more expensive than the chrome bumpers to buy now!

Hang on to your plastic nudgers they'll be the next craze. :wink:

I'm hoping the next craze is gonna be Carbon Bumpers and end caps…






Only because I have the molds made for the end caps and a few sets being knocked up as I speak, and am working on the molds for carbon bumpers   :wink:

Metal bumpers - pah (but if I can find a few cheap sets, I'd still have em for stock      :wink: )

Mmmmmmmmm carbonfibre. I think you could be onto one for there.

Think of a price what you would pay for them, then times it by 5 and bobs your uncle you have a RRP!

Ahem…

I tend to dissagree!  :wink:  (plus I managed to piece together my complete set for about ?130!!!

Sorry AL_Mk1 maybe I'm wrong about small chrome on a series 2. I like the look of your mk1. I take it back.

You did well for ?130!

LOL - thats ok mate, just playin'!

I didn't think they would look right with the big lights at first, but I think it has more to do with the overall styling!
