Talking about bumpers:
My BGT has a replica chrome front bumper.
This was advised by my local very long experienced parts supplier.
He restored for his lady friend an MGC to the utmost highest concours
standard.
She has won even very high rated UK concourses with this great car.
Yes - this car is equipped with the same replica type.
IMHO if your car will be in the open - high wheather proof chrome quality is
advised - i.e. original parts.
If your MG will be driven in dry wheather and will always be stored in a dry
garage, a replica bumper (low cost!!!) is fine. This bumper may need to be
polished more frequently than the other one, but its worth it I think. Mine
was a special offer for $ 50.00 only....
Cheers,
Hans

Subject: mgb chrome bumpers - advice
I will need new chrome bumpers after the new paint, and I haven't ordered
anything yet because I remember reading this from lister Bill S. a while ago
during the infamous "Why Kai bought a Tri**ph" thread:
"...ask yourself why suppliers like Moss don't make a premium bumper that
has chrome that won't corrode and fall off while sitting on the shelf?"
If Moss's replacement bumpers are truly of the above quality, does anyone
make a better bumper?
Thanks,
