Plating is expensive nowadays, and the cheapest isn't the best option, but nothing beats a good plating job.

Thanks Hazen, both links/companies are new to me.
Bumpers I've got... nice and straight but aged and micro pitted enough to consider replating. I have no idea what that would cost nowdays. I like the thought of the stainless ones never rusting- but the finish would likely be duller than chrome.

both in the UK. Newton supplies many vendors.
I've heard the stainless bumpers are less than stellar. If you don't have any, they could be an option.
Hello All-
It's been a while but I'm still around...
So I'm recently pricing seat cover and foam kits for my 72 GT6 Mk3 with the "new tan" color. I'm not seeing as much in stock like I used to at V.B. (almost nothing now or did I miss something?)...Nigel at Spitbits has the covers (I think) but no foams. Moss is a possibility but I've never bought from them. Rimmer is usually too high with shipping unless there's no one else. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Also by chance- are there any Asian countries making seat cover kits yet for British cars? I bought a couple of $70 motorcycle seat covers from a ebay vendor from over there- and was quite amazed how perfect they are. Exactly like the factory covers.
Tonight I'm looking around ebay again- and seeing someone in Vietnam ebay selling what looks just like the new repro stainless front/rear bumpers for GT6's. ($800 shipped) Sure looks like what I've seen in a couple of other catalogs. I watched the vid on ebay by the bumper seller, but it does not show them mounted on a car. If they really are as good as they look I'd probably be interested in a set. Has anyone here had any experience with these stainless bumpers yet? (from any vendor?)
