Bumbers - Mk 1

I'm trying to source a front and rear bumber set for what I think is a Mk1 Golf.  I'm in the UK but the person who wants the bumbers is a friends son who is the USA.  He advised me that the bumber is European style and before I try and hunt across scrapyards of England I wanted to be sure what I was after.  He says they came on 74-76 or 77 VW
Golfs in Europe They are small metal bumpers. He is looking for a set of
these in chrome preferably, silver or black.

I can forward a photo if anyone can help.

Thanks

Sorry not picking fun at you but "BUMBERS" lol This is a common spelling mistake on this site. Had to have a giggle.

Again I'm not having ago its just funny

Daniel the early small metal bumpers (particualry chrome) are very fashionable at present and demand high prices. I have seen small chrome bumpers exceed figures of ?500 on ebay!

You can still buy non-chrome metal bumpers in black or grey.

I'll try and find a company that sells them and post a link to some chrome bumpers if I can find any.

Hope this helps.

?225 and an hour or so left - I reckon he's gonna pull them before the end…

Not worth that in my opinion though as they have a couple of dings.

they're not worth that WITHOUT  a couple of dings.    :roll:   

I'd love to know where you can get a pair of ORIGINAL VW chrome bumpers complete with brackets, end caps, rubbers and indicators cheaper than ?225?

Well my set only cost me around ?145  :mrgreen:
Took a bloody long time to find though (Managed to find a front one and took 2 yrs to get a rear to match!)
Both original VW but I think one has been re-chromed. Came complete with everything though - Bumpstrips, end Caps, Hangers - even the little tow eyes! So I'm not complainign one bit!

When did you buy them Al?

Ah - I actually got them 2 to 3 years ago, so just before they became THE thing to have on your Mk1!

I suppose that helps explain the lower price a bit!  

ive wanted these for ever how difficult is it to get the center strip for the front bumper?

oh and whilst im at it does anyone know if you can get red and white small rear lights? if so where from?

I've a genuine VAG NOS chrome rear bumper only for sale. Any offers? :dontknow:
