Paudman Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Easy to replace bumpers, grease them up well with waxoyl or other similar slippery stuff, hook the top edge over the fitting strip then work your fingers along the bottom edge, pulling it out and over the fitting strip edge. Be careful it isn't sharp! You won't simply slide them along from side to side....Make sure the roll bar is correct for your car or it will affect the steering (oversteer / understeer, depends on the bar), but fitting is relatively simple. Change the bushes at the same time, polybushes are nice!As for rechroming, make sure you go to someone good; I have a set of rear overriders which were rechromed years ago for an-ongoing Herald restoration and I recently noticed the chrome has become so badly crazed you can't make out your reflection - and this car has never left the garage since they were fitted. You're safer going the extra expense at the beginning and have them properly done, with a finish that will last years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
