I would say black because it's neutral and it's not something it should bring attention to the eye |

Black on a 1958. This pic is an original 1960 and they were still using black.[img][/img]
The ad is for a 1961 bug and shows the silver brackets. |

61 and up the brackets were silver. 60 and down they are black, just like what's pictured above. _________________ WANTED: Henry Veale Santa Rosa plate frames

You mean 61 and up on deluxe is L91 silver, and standard L328 steel gray.

wasn't aware of that- didnt get standards in the USA- you in Canada? Please post pics of the differences! |

No, I'm in central Ca. near the coast. I do have a 65 111 that was built almost like a Canadian standard (called a 1200 Custom) sans a few different items. L-328 looks like this;

For 1965 on the single blade Euro bumper and the Deluxe Towel rack bumper for Europe and all Canadian standards (1200 Customs) The blade bracket is only two piece instead of the U.S. deluxe blade bracket which has the third reinforcement piece welded in-between. So yes the brackets are different and the color.

obviously you mean 3 layer rear bracket and not 2 layer front bracket. _________________ Admin note: Bill Passed away - July, 2017

IMHO they should be the same color as the bumper tubes and mounting brackets.
My very reliable ex-VW partsman told me all replacement bumpers came with black everything except silver backside of the bumper and further confirmed when we opened my boxed NOS one. |
