Can anyone suggest a suitable replacement for the chrome trim on the front bumper.
Woolies stock a number of potentials as does ratsport but i thought I would ask here first if anyone has a specific idea of what would fit.

Id be very interested to know the answer to this too, I was told at the national rally at the weekend by i believe Dieselman (apologies if im incorrect as to who told me, i was taking in a lot of XM knowledge at the weekend) that the acrylic of the original trims can be wet and dry'd back sometimes with good results.
I know that Chevronics have some new bumper trims, but they are at the moment beyond my price range.

Hi. It was me told you that. As long as the foil underneath the acrylic hasn't oxidized and bubbled, the trims can be rejuvenated, as the surface just suffers sun damage which makes it go cloudy.

Ahha, i thought it was, didnt want to commit myself though. Im hoping at least some of the trim will come up with a bit of elbow grease.
