i have always loved the bus in this video and i am now thinking although my bus is currently green i am going to paint it white on the top half and paint the bumpers white to match with the black strips, so it looks like the one in the video only green
my question is, were do i buy the black strips on the bumpers? or are they just a vinyl strip?

I wonder what the next scene was? Hitting a HGV on the bend and all the family end up kissing the windscreen?
Bumber strips are not vinyl but expensive pieces of rubber

I would think they are a rubber strip.I very much doubt you can buy the vw original strips now.But you could always make your own.Somewhere like
http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/ or
http://www.coh-baines.co.uk/ could no doubt supply you with the rubber...

According to ETOS
Front x2 251-807-221 £20.23
Rear 251-807-421A £40.25
Total £80.71 then add 20% VAT
Then clips 18 @ £1.50 each

And they only really look good on chrome bumpers which takes you into the realsm of even sillier money

I think you'll find the bumpers on the van in the video are chrome but white would look good
