Just finishing renovating my series 3

This is it without back boxes and bumper

Rather like the look without bumper
Reminds me of Alfa gta

It looks okay without the bumper; it also looks very different, like a smaller car.

Just as well if anyone doesn't have a bumper, because they are probably impossible to buy now. Last time I asked at BCL (prob 20 years ago), they only had secondhand bumpers for sale, at about £900!

There’s a company in Vietnam making stainless steel ones identical. I was quoted £1400 for a new one (single, not pair of) for my 411, probably better quality than original chrome. I recently saw a Gordon Keeble with one fitted and it looked really good. I could probably reference several imports to the UK from this company. And have the contact details.
I ended up choosing a company local to me to refurb my chrome, but that was £650 per bumper.
