I have to agree with Skull there, they do look so much better with the chrome bumpers and well worth the conversion although it can get pricey!!Skull wrote: 27 May 2020, 09:38 Looks nice hopefully under 10K always liked them but miss the chrome![]()

I can remember back in 1974 being horrified by the new ugly, ugly, ugly black bumpers. It wasn't just the looks either; the suspension mounting points were altered to raise the ride height (to meet a USA mandated minimum bumper height requirement IIRC) and then, to make the handling even worse, the front anti-roll bar was deleted on the Roadsters. This was fixed two years later when the front A/R bar was reinstated and both GT and Roadster gained a rear A/R bar.mickthemaverick wrote: 27 May 2020, 10:01... they do look so much better with the chrome bumpers and well worth the conversion although it can get pricey!!
Couldn't agree more! I feel as though I'm pulling my arms out of their sockets when I turn the steering wheel on the MGB. A power steering conversion is very much on the cards for the future when I find the spare steering column to get chopped. Fortunately the brakes are servo assisted so not as heavy as they could be.Peter.N. wrote: 27 May 2020, 12:01 I would rather repair an MGB than a C5 - but I would rather drive the C5.![]()
