My bumper uprights are starting to show their age (25 years young). Should I look in rechroming them or just buy new one’s from MG Magic?
luvmytd 40328.3666898148 The easy answer is “it depends”.
I would check prices for both options and just do the cheapest.
Moss Motors also has them, part #454-010. But they are pricey at $49.95 each! Yikes!
They are made VERY well though (see http://www.mossmotors.com/graphics/products/PDF/454-010.pdf)
In either case, you also want to replace the rubber strips between the overriders and the bumpers. Moss Motors part #400-418, only $5.75 for the set of eight.
The Moss parts are here:

I am SURE MG Magic is cheaper. I’ve no idea what rechroming will cost.

Thanks Paul,
Once we get down to Florida I will check the condition of the bumper chrome. I know the uprights need to be replaced. MG Magic is a little less expensive for the uprights.
My car has 60″ bumpers which MG Magic no longer stocks so I am hoping that I can polish the bumpers and just replace the uprights.
Rechroming can cost about $800+ for a bumper/uprght set.
I also found some very cool 100 spoke knock off wire wheels on ebay14″X6″ with knock off adapters that fit the 4 bolt 41/4 ford pattern.
