Does anyone have any of the contact details of the guy who owns the HYPO 1 bug? I've seen photos of it in a lot of Hot4s and it had a feature article in last month's issue.

I want to find out from him where he got his bumpers chromed. Thanks!

I think his name is todd

but his old mans name is Robert mansley.

they live here on the out skirts of Newcastle

The old man picked up the tab for the car so best to ask him.

I think you will find they weren't rechromed, just a brand new set Ben Durie had laying around, could be wrong though

I have sent u a u2u with contact numbers
