bc,

There is a chrome shop on the east side of Detroit MI.  Still in business.  Great quality.  Does work for owners of cars that go 
to Cobo Hall's AutoRama.

I have had work done and very pleased with the results! 



Sean,  I will email you.  Thank you!

I am still searching for the chrome bumpers with overrriders and corner bars for my 1965 Mini Cooper S that I am restoring.

If anyone has any of the components: bumpers, or overriders, or corner bars, I am interested in discussing what you
have and are willing to sell.

I will have the parts re-chromed.

Thanks for your help.

Jim

I am looking for a pair of original chrome bumpers with overriders and corner bars for a 1965 MK1.

These were missing when I purchased the car.

I know a stainless steel version is available but the ends are rolled over and does not have the correct shape.

If you have the bumpers or parts or know of a person who does, please contact me.

The car is going through a complete restoration.

Thank you for your help.
