Should I keep my chrome?

[Staty]

I'm picking up my new tech one kit Monday for my cabby, I can't quite decide whether to keep my chrome bumpers and attach the kit to them, or get rid of the chrome bumpers and just wack the plastic colour coded ones on and de-chrome the rest of my car, shadowline etc.

What do you prefer and what would you rather do?

Cheers

Plastic colour coded? I presume you mean later post facelift type? Won't work well with a tech 1 kit. Your best bet is to source the correct metal bumpers that are dechome specific. And paint them.

If you do go down that route, then a dechrome kit for the windows etc would be the order of the day.

Did e30's pre face lift come with non chrome bumpers?

These are the bumpers I'm buying, they are the original one's for my car by the looks of things, I assumed where he said they have been painted they were plastic, wouldn't have thought painting the chrome would be that easy?

Also I'am talking about the actual bumpers and not the front and rear aprons..

Did e30's pre face lift come with non chrome bumpers?

Yes. and the pic above has them still attached to the aprons.

Cool, so at least the chrome hasn't been sprayed! Think I'll get rid of the other chrome strips on my car and wack these straight on!

I have a complete set of dechrome for a convertible wtill on a breaker. I need to check condition but it's all there.

PM me if you decide to go ahead.

No probs. It's still on the car so safer stored there.
