Hi Garth,

I was just wondering about the chrome trim on your bumpers? Were they there originally and did you spray the bumpers red, or are they GLT bumpers with an added chrome strip?

The reason I'm asking is - I've got a set of base-spec bumpers at home which I'd like to add a chrome strip to. There are various aftermarket chrome strip sets on the bay for sale, I'm just not sure which works best ...

Cheers,

Tom

Tom, our GL black bumpers come with a chrome strip, so I'm guessing it's been sprayed.

I bought it like that. The paint has faded big time. I'll probablt go to black bumpers and just reuse the chrome strips.

Can't find the for sale thread, but looking at Roop's avatar and squinting at the reg, I'd say yep.
