notice brickwerks not stocking bumpers. whats best quality out there atm guys?

thanks lee.

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.

thanks andy, need quote for insurance for that bump i had. looks like i`ll be quoteing on vw heritage prices.

very inferior.. I'd sooner buy a bent bumper than a JK one

I'd sooner make one out of three cornflake boxes sellotaped together

kev, are the heritage ones the same as the jk ones???

Id sooner get me welder out
mm

I'd sooner weld a skoda on the back

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
