Datsun 1200 Front Bumper Wanted ! Also rear quarter Badge

Post by iamkiwiana »

Any good condition front bumpers for a 1200 ? coupe

Ordered one in from cockram nissan but the pressing and chroming on it is so rough, It looks like a very cheap knock off

They are not the best, and I dare say would probably rust out in a couple of years.

Chrome is extremely thin on visible areas on the bumper causing areas that have no shine, just a dull appearance.
The pressing of the bumper is terrible

How much are they? They look better than my originals, which i was going to panel and paint anyway as new chrome is out of my budget.

I had heard repro ones were pretty shit/Chrome rusts/falls off in no time.
I'm really bummed to hear the a factory one is also less than OG quality......

I think the "genuine ones" are or were at the end of the stamping / tooling life - then the "repro" guys brought the tooling and started stamping again lol

still better than my one as where the plates overlap in the centre has completely rusted through (as no doubt all of them do)
gutted thats the finish of them, but i may have to go down this road anyway and go straight from nissan to a chrome replaters

If only there was a cheap and easy option ! any ideas of places to get cheaper "repro" ones? Might be better off spending a little less to get similar quality, Cheers!
