Sorry I am really busy and have not had time to upload any photos lately. I will as soon as possible. Cold reduced (cold rolled) steel would work just as well but this material is slightly softer I discovered by accident. There's not a lot in it its just a little more malleable. The other advantage for me is that I can keep it in stock for long periods without it going rusty and as I seldom work in thicker materials but need it just in case...

The bumper was chrome plated once done.
