Sourcing replacement fibreglass bumper

A stupid neighbour took the corner off my Vanny's front bumper - thankfully her bullbars stopped the damage being more serious and, as is often said: "you should see the other guy".

Although it is an insurance job I've got to do the legwork and get quotes, etc.

Has anyone any experience in sourcing a replacement grey (I guess it used to be black) fibre glass bumper - Vanny is a 1989 Autosleeper Trident and the doors have a matching panel at the bottom where it does a kind of wrap-around.

Or, if I'm not likely to find a match, do you know of ways of replacing this bumper with a different type (I see JustKampers do a couple of types of bumper kit). I guess I'd want to replace the rear one to match, too?

Might it be repairable?

Any ideas and shared experience welcome.

Paul.

bumper is still available new from VW classic parts in Germany, but it's not cheap, but if they are paying then do it right
