A pair went for $150 on ebay yesterday:

They do want to go to a better home. They're good for a driver, but want replating to match a fresh paint job. Don't know how to price them, so if you find new please let me know the price. Maybe these are worth 30% of new??

and early license lamp supports.

If Blunt doesn't want them I'll take them.

In the UK and some other English speaking Countries, these chrome/rubber things are called overriders. Ask Jaymic for bumper guards and they probably won't have a clue.

Yeah, we call them over riders... I thought that was what you called them too!?!

I knew what Blunt was on about though :-)

thats what i call them because somewhere i saw them referred to as that. i alsways thought they were called bumper gaurds too. i will create a 3rd name for them to further confuse people

HAHA, the only reason I sent you the info was I saw you were looking for some yesterday.

If you are using an early bumper (without the rubber strip on the bumper ends), the latter overrider's won't do it. They have a notch to clear the rubber.

I am going through the same situation with my car's front bumper. I have an early one to install (w/o rubber strips), and I have what seems like a gazillion bumper guards for later chrome-bumper cars.

I swapped sides with the overriders, then cut the notch that fits over the rubber to match the contour of the chrome bumper ends. As you can see, it worked. All you have to do is use washers on the backside.

Great idea! Any pics?

our over rider? Is there a name other than badge bar?

[02Les]

The horizontal bar at the front was known as the badge bar from the days when motorists proudly displayed their AA badge or Lagonda Owners' Club badge etc.
