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
