Fleur backed the little beetle into a pole a few months ago and I have been deliberating whether to get a s/h one or a brazillian one and rechome it.
In the end I got the original bar that was bent and sent it to a bumper bar econditioners. I explained very clearly that I wanted it to be the original shape. No worries there, fits well
I said I don't mid so much if there are ripples in it as it is a daily driver, but chrome the thing properly, not wave it in the general direction of the bath.
I communicated what I felt was and was not acceptable. It is the only way to go, as they fixed it, give a guarantee on the chrome, and got a good price. Normally $180 + GST to repair and chrome, but he dropped a bit off because I was not asking for show quality.
Everyone is happy
Fitted it last weekend and it is good to see the beetle not looking so shabby. Fleur is happy too.
