56 bumper bars
weapon - February 1st, 2006 at 06:03 AM

wondered if anyone could let me know if a 56 beetle ever came from factory with over-riders on front or rear bumper bars. also roughly how much should i expect to pay for new front and rear. if someone has pics of stock standard front and rear bumpers that would be great.:thumb thanks Rob.
