i got a spare front bumper to do this
 but always think not yet,when  i look at it.
the centre is a much different profile hey
not that a bit of beating worries me.
its the price of chrome
or rechroming  the chrome
i wonder if it would be cheaper just to grind all the chrome off
finish it in bare metal...............
hmmmmm
 thinkin about it now
 would it be cheaper just to fab a new bar?

Looking good Pete and just think it is nearly Friday again, maybe just maybe you can get that day at it again.

Also what do you coat these cool mods with?? (galmet paint, fish oil or what) to stop any chance of rust.
