When I was rear ended in my 73 280SEL. I wanted to keep the bumpers as I thought they would be somewhat hard to come by. A friend suggested an automotive chroming shop so I called one.

The guy told me that he's been in the business for more then 20 years and has never come across a bumper he could not straighten and quoted me around $250-300 to straighten it and then re chrome it.

I eventually found a set for around $70 at the local pick and pull.
