Hi smash bumpers will be finished with a special chroming process. There are a few different ways to chrome grp most of them fail miserably on durability as we have found out in the past.The same company that finishes the large jaguar cat statues for jag have been given the job.They're going to look fantastic complete with overiders too !
We have replaced the BMW set up with a new motor/spindle mounted on a purpose made bracket which picks up existing bolting points. This set up let's you use chrome wiper arms/blades to add to the classic look.
Interested to know how much prep time before ready to go to paint? This a big resource cost with Tribute in terms of sorting alignment, resolving gap issues and just getting the body straight.

The first car was picked up Tuesday 4.30pm let's see how long. There's not a lot of prep work The bodies are excellent !!!!
The body fitting price with everything pre fitted and removed before paint £2500.00
Quality paint finish £3000.00
Obviously there's a big savings to be had for the self builder who fits their own body and shops around for a cheaper paint job.
Is that with you retaining removed donor clams and parts?
We've actually been putting them in the skip because they take up too much room lol ...If a customer wants them back as long as they move them away quickly then that's great with us !!

The factory cars are always presented to the highest standards.
The price of the paint job is inline with a bare metal respray.
You're skipping them?! That's a lot of money you're binning!
Any final cost on the bumpers? And also is there a refit cost after paint or is that all in with the 2.5k?
The bumper chrome price has not been finalised yet.
We do not re fit parts that's up to the customer to do this .
We do undertake full builds ...We have three full builds on at the moment with two more customers looking for cars . So far we have had a lot of interest considering the car has never been shown finished with deposits for kits already placed.
