I still have one of the original 5 bolt bumpers from my 62 but it's dented and not in good shape. And would need alot of work.

But I striped a 80's mini a year ago and it has genuine grey bumper still with the hologram on it. I will see how well it fits compared to the other ones I have to see if it's me being too fussy over the bumper fit.

Also a mate of mine has had fibreglass bumpers made from a genuine bumper mould. And he has also found a company that sprays chrome.

I would be interested in some bumpers if you were going to get some made.

just got a set of bumpers from somerfords, they are stainless steel, but still shiney, and a very nice shape, much better than the ones i had, and look good quality, £48 each, all in with postage £106, i a bit of a fussy bugger and want things right, but i am happy with them, and if it comes to it i have to find a place that will chrome S/S, to have it looking right for a mk1

car comes back next week from the blasters so i see how well they fit

these bumpers are the same ones supplied to the car that won mini of the year, somerfords said, not sure what car it was,

Hi Dean, glad you are pleased with the Somerford Bumpers, as i said before they are very good and you will find that they fit very well, i am fitting them on my 60 street seven and they look fine to me ;)
