    Does anyone know of anyone selling an original, good condition, US spec 308 front bumper?

    I'm not trying to spend 2500 plus on the thing, 1000 would be better. I know people which out for
    Euro and dump the US bumpers.

    As a note, I don't care to switch to Euro either, trying to keep her original to spec.

    Thanks

    Good luck to you I have been looking a long time too, they are heavy to ship.

    I have had an offer to mold some fibreglass repros of the North American profile required, if that idea appeals..

    You have checked TRutlands and GT Car parts for a good used one?

    If you change styles you have to do the grill too or it leaves gaps..

    Don'e have the phn # at the moment, but talk to "Lee," he' s a great guys and is very helpful.

    I know last I spoke with him, had had some parts cars, they picking from. I've heard of a few prople changing out their US bumbers for the Euro style glass one's, so they're probably a couple out there.

    Also as "Big Tex" mentioed GT Car parts in another one (I"ve visited his shop in AZ, lots and lots of good stuff), I've found his (BILL) pricing to be VERY reasonable.

    Good luck.
