Not recently.

I bought a rear bumper from The Padock and at that time they were (probably still are) from the same supplier Year One was getting theirs from.

A few people on USA based boards said the chrome quality was not good. I was very happy with mine and still am after many years.

I came across a Challenger which had a very good original bumper on it and compairing the very best areas on that, my own original, and the new bumper I am convinced that the quality of the chromework is just as good as Chrysler used in the first place.

I have a rear bumper on my 73 that is pitted, etc. Will it be less expensive to have rechromed or just buy new....................

Thoughts and experiences are appreciated
