Yes it’s a solid lifter Hughes STL 5054 AS8, with 1.6 rockers it’s a pretty healthy grind but still makes a reasonable amount of vacuum.

Finally got my fibreglass bumper back from being chrome sprayed. Firm I originally took it to turned out to be a shower of Bananarama! so after 9 weeks of poor communication and lies I repossessed it. Took it to a very nice man on Monday and picked it up Yesterday. Not perfect close up but very presentable from a couple of feet so good enough for the likes of me...

Not really, Rayleigh in Essex. I found another place in Northampton but they haven't got back to me yet so forget them. This is a growing market so if there isn't somewhere local now, there will be.

It’s not a wrap it’s a sprayed on paint finish. Real chrome plate is not only very expensive these days it’s also on the verge of being banned as a decorative finish. This is an alternative.
