Where is the best place to get new bumpers (preferably ones that fit straight on), not the "JK rubbish"

interested in this as i'm looking for a rear bumper for the van and not keen on what i've heard of the jk ones
been looking at Volkswagen Emporium and vwheritage but are they any better??

i'm in the same boat, i assume you are just talking about the black metal bumpers front and back?

I have had stuff from chris at vw emporium before and been pleased but would like some feedback on the bumpers as its quite a prominent part needs to look right!

Cheers

Any thoughts on the 'Big GTi' style bumpers, I have the black metal ones but thinking about changing?

I got a rear bumper kit from custom and commercial. I had to elongate one hole by about 10mm to get it to fit (seems like the holes were drilled before the bumper arch was formed ) but it seems just as good as the original I took off. Especially after I painted it with black rustoleum

Was about £20 cheaper when I bought the kit

Everything seems to be 25% dearer than the last time I looked

Like the look of the chrome ones for a few extra quid

How long will they stay like that though?

I have a chrome rear from custom and commercial,ok quality,fitted fine but a little wavy along the top edge,brought it before a few price increases,not sure i'd pay what they cost now.

Couple of years i reckon,few coats of red oxide or hammerite to the rear of em but i wouldn't take anything abrasive to it,autosol etc to it coz that chroming is,well i reckon Brazillian 'quality'

got mine genuine straigh ones from a autojumble then powder coated may sound dear but probably £100 all in for brand new lookign genuine ones that fit and are thickwer guage
