wtd replacement bumper: 71 bug
Anyone know my options re: a replacement front bumper for the bug? The one on it is a crap one that's rusted to the sh$thouse. It's so aweful to
have something so ratty on the front of the bug. Was quoted $220 for a fully rechromed german one - seemed a bit steep
I'm in Melbourne if anyone has one for sale. |

Find a good S/H German one at a Swap meet then get it straightened and re chromed worth the wait
Or buy a new Brazilian one and take it straight to the chromers
