Magnus rear 1/4 crome bumpers wanted

ken · 17-03-2015, 20:21

Hi folks I have a 96 E50 Magnus auto diesel (import) This is fitted with bumpers with chrome inserts. I have managed to source the front bumper parts from UK supplier but I cannot find supplies of the rear bumper inserts. The vehicle is in good condition generally but I have been told that unless I replace the rear parts it will fail MoT as these are corroded and dangerous. Has anyone got info on new spares or good used spares suppliers? I can be contactedeither via this site or my mobile 07775923355

bumper is not structural, if it has sharp edges tap with hammer and cover with Gaffa tape, Rick

In our T1, I took them off, cut out the sharp bits, ground off the rust, and then rebuilt with fibreglass. Luckily mine were Black, so easy to then make match again.

When I looked, I could not find any at all, and as said mine were easier, being painted.

Could still sand blast or similar the bumpers (if only chrome plated) and do a mean black look

It's always scary taking the plunge of no return, but great once you get stuck in.

For the MOT you could just do the corners in Black, and then look out for Silver ones with less urgency. No point in two people ruining perfectly good cars!!
