Rovers now are $136 each in Sydney. Can't get new Clubby ones though. Clubbys are obsolete...

in melb a gen rover one is 240 and after market is 235. in melbourne there is a place called a grade panels that repress your old bumper and make it brand new. its better if your using a stainless bumper because chromed ones flake off when you repress them. the cost of a repress and rechrome is $210

AFAIK, a plating shop should be able to strip, repair and rechrome your bar.

Probably cost $250 ish (at a guess). Since they are NLA, it's worth the money.

I have 2 very decent bars from my GT, but I am still spending the money to get them stripped and rechromed.

You just can't beat FRESH BLING :mrgreen:
