I live in Australia and wondered if anybody on Samba in Ozz had bought a Stainless Steel bumper from Vietnam and who they dealt with and was it satisfactory?

Howdy ...
Many posts about thinness &/or I'll fit.
See feed back thread.
Best option is ole school factory refurbished but protected on the inside.
Good luck ... stay safe

| I bought the US Spec 1974 style bumper for my Beetle from PTT Bumper. No complaints, way heavier than other aftermarket and still shine 2 years later. |

| I'm in Michigan on the coast of Lake Huron. So no salt form the water but lots of salt in the air from winter roads. I can tell you my chrome bumpers were constantly rusting, these ones do not. |
