Thanks, i work in the sign industry and am getting quotes for stainless steel ones - NO RUST.

i got my one of ebay in Germany,i was going to get my Bumpers Chrome so i would look in to that fist ,fine some one that does Chroming,

How close to the standar ones will they be? that front bumber has a large curve in it and that always causes problems..

I looked at getting some alloy ones made, the co reckoned they could bend it... but kept creasing the prototype so gave up...

These will have laser cut top and bottoms and the front will be soldered and curved to the shape. I am not sure if it is a legal requirement to have the black plastic bumper ends or not?

Ill let you know what the quotes say.

Be sitting down when they do quote you tho - tried that myself a long time ago...

Chrome bumpers are the best but straight ones are very hard to find nowadays, but they can be re-rolled straight if u know the right person - this one was knackered til i sent it away, chaps retired now tho.

I'm very sorry to jump in on this thread, but Peet where did you get the rear sunshade? i have never seen one before and i love it

Was just going to say, that's great! Would stop the kids complaining about the sun!

Its the only one I have ever seen and an original RGA one from the 80's. Not for sale and Jeds top of the list if i ever do!!
The amount of attention the things got I may well try and get some reproduced if anyone knows how?

The tooling for that would cost a packet, would have to sell a load to make any money.

Bets bet would be to find the old mold.

If it where me I would try finding/contacting the company.

ive bought a front one and intend to try and fit it to the back, shouldnt be too hardm just might have to drill a couple of holes and make up some spacers (nuts).

I think a front can be adapted to the rear, i have seen it done.

'COST A PACKET?'
Mmm maybe I'll just keep my one then1

that rear window spoiler coube reproduced in grp and if theres alot of interest im up for that job,peet
