Chrome work is illegal in NSW

Contact this guy - he picks up and drops off
Believe he sends to Victoria
0438 765 097

He quoted me about $300 per bumper

Either that or consider powder coating
1/2 the price
Talk to Richard
He did the purple ones but i hear he as a more "chrome" look rather than the silver

You could also ceramic coat. That might get exy though

Anyway - a couple of ideas for you

Talk to Vintage 9789-1777
they have the contacts in Albury for the BEST chroming with a proper copper base no rust

If the bar has to be straightened it will cost more than $300

Slightly off topic, but anyone know of a good one in Adelaide who also straightens? My Golf took a bump recently and I want to get the otherwise good bumper fixed.
