I assume, like with most panels, they are all from the same supplier.

I got a rear bumper kit from custom and commercial about 2 years ago (when they cost a lot less) and the quality was fine with just one minor problem, well minor for me anyway.

One bolt hole was about 10mm out and required the hole elongating. I think this is down to the idiots who measure the spacing but don't account for the bow in the bumper

Ok cheers for that

Used VW ones ? Even if a bit dented they can battered straightish with a bit of care.

The aftermarket ones I've seen are obviously inferior.

[..lee..]

I must have got a good one as it was virtually the same thickness as the original bump battered and holed VW one I took off. The elongation of the hole could not be seen once the plastic bolt caps went on

only ever seen a JK one...good laff

On a side note I've always been a tad perplexed as to why the plastic bumpers are so popular?

They are rather ugly and not exactly bump proof
