Yes I am but I've had the car 14 years I got both the bumpers brand new quite a few years ago think they were some of last VW had.paceman said
Looks lovely!!
You are a lucky man having NOS bumpers.
The mirrors, door handles, number plate holder, all the lights were also NOS parts.

Dropped the rear axle today and fitted my new powder coated one.
Fitted all new genuine parts to the axle plus new genuine shocks, springs, rear brakes and handbrake cables.
Gonna move onto fuel lines, fuel pump and accumulator next!
