WTB : L-bug front bumper with indicators

Hey guys,

I'm after a front bumper to suit a late L-bug with the indicators in the bumper like so :

Anyone have one for sale complete with lights? or know where I can get one for a decent price? I'm in Vic.

Thanks,
Dino.

What perticularly are you after??

You can buy the bumpers new, but they are the lowest quality Brazilian
ie single chrome. I was told you cant buy tripple chrome ones.

You can buy Danish ones but they are almost as muct as a propper rechrome job.

That said i bought a front and rear bars a couple weeks ago off a forum member in brisbane and did a hammer job and painted the inside and they came up great.

Genuine second hand would be nice, although what are the Brazillian ones worth and who stocks them in Vic?

i'm after the whole unit ready to fit up.

Consider what Egeworks did to his ride.

He just used a normal bumper and got an LED light for the flaser unit.

Have a look through members rides for his.

In Sydney they are $120ish for single chrome and just under $300 for Danish.

Standard bumpers are available for the same price as single chrome but in tripple chrome.

This is all without lights and rubber strips

I don't have an L-Bug, but I do have the bumpers on my car with LED lights in them.

If your bumper is in ok condition, it would be cheaper to revamp it like Bizarre did to his, and get the LED indicators. Then you just have to cut the bumper to fit the lights, and ta-da! It'll look spiffy. :yes:

This is on ebay at the moment

Worth it for the front bumper with lights and rubber strip alone
