Has anyone ordered bumpers recently from WW. Just checking to see if their quality is still the best for chrome reproduction bumpers. I seen a post that said they started using a thinner metal. I’m replacing a cheap rear bumper with the plastic grommets that’s on my 56. Thanks

I ended up getting a pair of Wolfsburg West bumpers, and they are very nice quality and similar thickness to original. The fit and finish are top notch.

Yeah... but no one here can guess who/where you happily bought your bumper from... unless you tell us. How about more detail?

Nice looking Sunroof Oval, by the way!
