Wanted - Europa Bumper

[Coxy]

I have spurious front bumper on the GT and as per usual it is rusting :wallbash:

I knew when I got it that it would rust but it was only for mocking up purposes so now it's time to get a proper one.
Does anyone have a good (rust & dent free) non spurious front bumper? Ideally one with the rubber strip like I have on the back bumper.

Back bumper with rubber strip

i've always liked the term 'spurious part'.

makes it sound so naughty.

I have one here, i'll check the condition. From memory it's crusty on the inside but the outer chrome bit seems fine. Might clean up OK.
I'll get back with pics tomorrow...

Thanks Trev. I'm not worried about the inside - that can be tidied up.

When was the last time you polished it?

Probally before it went for a swim :rofl:

Not for a while but every time I polish it, it stays ok for a few days and then the rust spots appear again......it was a cheap temporary buy!

Smart arse :boxing:

people are sure getting witty around here, must be sipping a bit of the christmas spirit !! :lol:

 

[Coxy]

Anyone?

 

[trev]

just went out to check that bumper, the inside is crusty as I remembered but unfortunately the chrome on the outside is bubbled and flaking in spots. No use to you so.

it's from a 1303 incidentally. Were they the same bumpers as "normal" beetles?

 

[Coxy]

No worries Trev. Thanks for looking anyway. I think the 1303 front bumper is more rounded so may not have fit.

well at least we know what happened with 133-pi, need to mobe this pic to ' where are they now' thread.

Have a look at Trev's website
133-pi is going to be a massive Frankstein like creation that will go like a hot snot

yeah, 133 PI it will live on, albeit in an altered state

incidentally, the 1303 bodyshell from 133 PI went to Cork to be turned into an historic racer. I wonder what happened to it? Anyone know Michael Wroth?

Anyone have a Europa front bumper for sale?
