Has anyone bought a pair of sunny climate bumpers from Heritage vw,I want to know if you took the black sticker off and polished out the sticky glue it left,(the sticker is where you fit the rubber wrap strip)
I've seen the results of sunny climate chrome. Seriously......don't bother. Get your own bumpers cleaned, stripped and chrome plated or buy the proper ones. You will seriously regret buying anything that is sunny climate in a very short space of time.
^this. They'll be covered in speckley rust in no time. Blasting then powder coating oldies shouldn't cost that much, or painting if properly prepped, will last (mine were 2-packed five years ago & haven't rusted yet).
Assume they made the eye lids that were on my bus when i got it and missis wont let me remove too (anyway isnt this a sunny climate rofl ) but wont clean the bugaz everytime it rains, does vini gar n brown paper work
I bought a set of these second hand just to get my bus finished as the originals were totally wrecked, I hammerite'd them inside in the hope they might last a bit longer but I know I'll end up changing them pretty soon. they are fairly thin it has to be said.
Hi morgs, here's a picky of my best quality chrome front bumper from VW Heritage I bought 12+ years ago,even with years of neglect it still looks pretty good, Compared to my headlamp rims,spot the sunny climate one! Bought as a pair of best quality from 'Just Wan*ers', a mix up with their stock me thinks :
There are stainless steel, front and rear bumpers available, for both 1968~1972 & 1973~79 VW Type 2s, for which corrosion should no longer be a problem!
Yeh Chrome was a lot cheaper in those days!! Most things were made of it when i was just a boy , FUNNY isnt it they make taps with it on but they dont rust ,even with all that water OR is it the marmite that its fixed too
