A few posts back I'd mentioned the bumpers.

As per photos they'd been "interfered "with, much to the concern of several afficianados, and rightly so.

Having saved a B12 owners post about how to repair the brass based bumpers, Brian Long in Australia , I'd set about phoning both chromers and guys who had metalworks in an attempt to organise or sort out a full repair.

I'd undertaken this search a couple of years back but again despite numerous calls it seemed impossible to track down someone to carry out the initial annealing due to the size of muffle oven required.

Feeling I'd run out of options, someone suggested why not use filler to at least get an even-ish surface ( not bother fixing cracks etc) and then either use a modern chrome look paint or wrap it.

He told me to ring him in 4/5 weeks, or end of October, but the week before that,  I got these through, no accompanying message just these.

Lancia racer John Day once asked me to use a sliced potato as a widscreen wipe (externally) at Lydden Circuit. It may have been sourced from the catering caravan. One less portion of chips.

That's interesting, a sort of organic Rainx. I shall have to add a potato to my emergency spares kit.

Am interested and have sent you a PM.
