A mate gave me these bumpers today. He's been cleaning out his shed.
Can anyone suggest what years they might have come from.
Only a few bumps and dints. Might keep them for when I get an earlier bug

Cheers Luftmeister. That's about what what I expected them to be. Hope to use them sometime soon.

Actually the rear bumper could be used on a 67. It would fit but would not be correct. The 67 has the inner overider bars on the rear bumper slant down towards the center of the bumper to allow better clearance of the decklid. These overider bars were only used on the 1967 rear bug bumper.

You are only causing confusion.
What you said doesn't apply to Australian bugs, only Europe and US
67s here still had old deck lid and bumper on small window bodies.

Cheers Bushed,
We'll be doing a run to the Sunny Coast for Xmas this Year.
Might be able to catch up with you on the way through.
Good excuse for the Fernvale Bakery as well!
