428 Bumpers
« on: November 14, 2008, 16:11:25 »
Have a look on ebay, AC 428 stainless bumpers available, 2 sets.
   Harringto Group in Bath, around £950, including postage.
   Too late for me, already repaired the old ones at vast expense.
   Any idea where to obtain front 1/4 light seals?.

Hi Guys, I bought a set, way less money than making a new rear bumper for my car. I was just notified that they were shipped. When I get them I will post photos on this board. It's a gamble. My rear bumper was not serviceable!

I received my bumpers Yesterday and I unwrapped one front one. Very nice, they may be a bit thinner than the originals, Maybe. Damien, let me know what you think. They are so shiny that they look chromed and not stainless. I have not applied a magnet yet to see if they really are stainless!. The big question is: will they fit the car? as every one of these cars is likely different.

I also receibved the bumpers and unpacked them all.
   They will fit perfectly and are also very shiny.  Finish is super, but I did not test with a magnet, neither compare thickness.  However they are really nice and I am VERY pleased.
