    Ones I've seen tend to be err expensive. Didn't someone used to make fibre glass ones once?
     
  5. yeah there was someone doing repros i think? can't remember who.

    sometimes there are some on thesamba but usually v expensive. rare option on bays unfortunately.
     
  6. Hen's teeth... I bought my rear ones (fibreglass repro) on here for £140 all bits included supplied in white primer. They look fab... The member who makes and sold them is "Eddie" and that is his member name. He made front ones as well but I didn't need them... However I checked and it seems he hasn't signed in since 2021. Maybe someone has his details and he is still making them? The front ones are steel originals I got for £80 on the Volkszone forum about 12 years ago. I placed a 'wanted' post, and got lucky. Maybe try the same on this and other forums?

    there are two types, standard bumper fitment, and deluxe (with the rubber strip running across the bumper). all 4 are different. oh and champagne edition ones are stainless where the regular pleb versions are painted. hope that helps.

    I am sure I have seen writeups/videos for designs where people have fabricated them themselves.

    Remember you need the front and rear ones. The 4 clamps/brackets to attach them to the bumpers. The 4 rubber impact strips and probably the thin rubber trim that runs along the sides where they touch the bumpers.

    I suspect €490 plus postage/import duty and VAT should get you there.

    As has been said “Eddie” makes exact copy repro ones in GRP/fibreglass. Try sending him a PM or look him up on Facebook under ‘Vespasian Augustus’

    If you use the search facility you should find some threads about them/him.
