bumpers back from the plating shop

Some assembly required...:-)

I picked these up yesterday morning. What a difference!

The photo does not do justice to the shine and polish of the

chrome.

The cliche..."you get what you pay for....is sooo true".

Spent the afternoon sealing the back-sides with aluminu/grey-colored

rust-proofing.

...waiting for the rubber pieces to arrive

Here are some before and after pics.

I only dis-assembled the bumpers and dropped them off.

The rear center piece was in the roughest shape. Rust had perforated

through in 2-3 sections. And had 1 crease in it that was not original.

The plating shop did the repsirs, straightening and all the prep.

I went to a local plating shop in the Toronto area. Aside from

the stripping, repairs, polishing and prep, they did a 3-dip

process. It is a nickel-chrome finish.

Cost was ~$1000 USD. The price range was in the middle of the

road.

...also checked-out some of the rechroming outfits in the

States (for muscle cars). Those guys are really over the

deep-end...

cheers

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
