Hi Gail!

I was looking at those bumpers also. I hate these cheap things with the
plastic end-caps on my '85 GL. Looks like they were stuck on as an after-
thought.

Have been looking at the various pictures of the VW vehicles available in
Europe and SA, upsets me a bit with VW Father-lands attitude towards making
those available in the US. If their marketing folks would get on the stick,
they would, I believe, uncover a vast latent market for them. But how do you
get a corporate giant like that to get off the dime?

It's true that every manufacturer, it seems, has put their version of a van
on the road,  most of which, it seems, are slick, low slung, slant roofed
replacements for the old family station wagon. But I never could use a
stations wagon, ergo the new vans either.  There is a hole in the market
that is wide open for the Vanagon type. Of course the EV I guess is supposed
to be the replacement, but it is such a departure from style and type, that
in my mind it misses the mark.

Those Winkler foglights do look good, but what i'm longing for is a bumper
like the one in the projektzwo #3 pic.  I did contact the projektzwo website
, andmy understanding is that they have them for front and rear, and want
over $1200 for each!  i've found some at places that supply stuff for trucks
or 4wd vehicles, for less than $500, but nothing to fit a vanagon.

Anyone have any other ideas which might put me on the road to Bumper heaven?

Gail
