Fibreglass S bumper

Post by matteo68 »

My S is 0347 and according to the workshop manual, the first 385 had a fibreglass bumper:

However I’ve discovered mine doesn’t, so I reckon the original one may have been damaged beyond repair at some stage in its life and replaced with a later steel one.

If anyone has an NOS (or very good quality repro non-ST), fibreglass one they would be prepared to sell, or can point me in the direction of one, please let me know.ImageImage

Still looking.

Must be NOS or very good quality new repro for my S.
