Now, does anyone know where I can get some front bumper guards?

Ok, looks like ill go down that road for the rears. Do you know if the guys at Pacific Plating could weld them up as well as plate them?

I think so, I welded up mine before dropping them off. Call Tony and ask... Let him know 'John the Porsche guy' sent you and you have another set of the same bumperettes. I recommend you get all your chrome done at once because 1, they do a great job and 2, it takes ages... So if you have other stuff like headlight rims, hub caps, horn rings, or non-Porsche stuff; get it done as whole job lot and probably save a little coin.

I have been offered these to buy. Excuse my ignorance but are they right for my type of bumper trim? They dont appear to have the correct profile. How do I know if they are Porsche or Repo?

Noel,

You have S trim which is wide profile.

The bumperetts above are for narrow trim.

These are the ones you want.

I bought fronts from Stoddard and couldn't recommend them. The shape and chrome is good, but the internal brackets and welded nut was so far off that they could not be fitted with standard bolt - even with the front bumper off the car. I ended up using correct length threaded bar screwed into the guards first, bent slightly and then slotting back through the bumper and secured with nut on the inside.
