Chrome bumpers - on a cabby..

Has anyone got any pics of this done?
Im thinking of doing it on my new cabby, soon to get. Wanted to do it on my old bronze one, I love small bumper cabbys but chrome ones look great, but the car is black, would it be too much chrome (bling) on a black car when its a great colour as it is? Just trying to visualise it, or what it would even look like on a cabby rather than a tin top and whether it would be too OTT?

Best i can do is this link :dontknow:

Thanks guys, these american? spec cars seem to have much larger bumpers than uk spec ones?

yeah that a US spec one above.

only issue with this is you'll have a hole visible on the front wings where the plastic bumper side supports were

You can buy blanks for these holes on ebay.

The blanks CarnieMk1 mentioned are from the Clipper kitted cabriolets - the Clipper bumper shells don't need the supports like the earlier cars as the bumper is riveted to the Clipper arches giving rigidity.

Here's a pic of an early Mk1 Cabby prototype with chrome bumpers from the Volkswagen Osnabrück car collection:



Looks good!

im going for this look too 8)
