Out of interest, what were they working out to?johanb wrote:The mail responce I got was the people complained about the price to high and Brendan canned this project to import bumpers.
Sorry gents.. if anybody was interested
BS, if those bumpers were twice the price you would see them around.5 x is ALOT more...maybe thats why they didnt do it, if its 2 x it aint that bad, but 5 x is hectic...calooker wrote:
I inquired a few years back on a set for a 60's beetle can't remember exact price but they were like 5x the price of a VS item.

Now if I could get a set at half that price I will surely consider it.
