Ken 63R2159 R2 Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 A vendor who advertises in the AOAI Avanti magazine is selling reproductions of the front and rear Avanti bumpers. Can anyone comment on the quality, fit and chrome finish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Excellent quality. Fit on one end was slightly off, but it may have been the slight damage to the outer end I re-used. Much better than the later Avanti II bumpers with the crease across the length of the top. Much better than most rechrome shops. I have had peeling on the back sides, marks where they straighten on the back side, and waves, and grind marks that were unacceptable on rechromed units. None of that is true with the new ones. You will have to find the large cage nuts and use them on the new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1963r2 Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 I find myself in the position of having to get front and rear bumpers as the chromer I left them with has disappeared. Which vendor have people been getting the repo bumpers from ? Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
