..so what are the options , now, for sourcing a front BD bumper ( small license plate gap)?
- find an OG one - VERY difficult & vastly expensive
- Gerson?
-???...what others?
all help/comment will be gladly received

Modify a later one, it's only a few more butt welds.

Fabricate 2 short lengths of the 'raise', then cut the curved edges out of the centre of the bumper and move them in by the right amount to give the smaller gap, then weld the fabricated bits in the holes left on the raise.
