740 bumper trim

smithysbarge · Aug 31st, 2010, 14:53

Two questions on this one:

Does anyone know of a source for the white (front) and red (rear) reflective strips used in the bumpers of a 90 740 estate?

Any ideas on ways to sort scrapes on corners of said bumpers without replacement. They're not too bad but would be nice to sort.

Thanks.

Hi,

The reflective strips are no longer available, i think, but at £30 a bumper, might be too costly to stomach.
Have a look at Steve's "Thor" project as he has replaced reflective strip from an alternative source.

If it is a plastic bumper, then try a heat gun to smooth out the scratches and also re-black the plastic.

Des. . .
