I bought my SS copy USA style bumpers through Nordicar in Holland. Pretty sure these are manufactured in Far East. They were not perfect, but after a little tweaking I am well pleased with the result. Sorry but I have not mastered putting photos on this site but if you want to pm me with your mobile number I will forward pics. Ps I did have to pay import duty of approx £110!

These are from harringtons, I’ve dealt with them for some Amazon bumpers. My advice would be to get some specific dimensions, I didn’t have any trouble with import taxes.

When I was looking for some by the time I had added shipping and tax there was not a big difference in cost than the Uk suppliers, if you get away with not paying import tax then the difference is bigger, remember if there is an issue you have to send them back at your cost
For these reasons I bought from Brookhouse. |

Thanks everyone.
I was prepared for the dreaded customs tax but even with that I thought £900 was reasonable for ss bumpers if the quality was ok. Didnt realise Brookhouse stocked them..couldnt find them on their site. Might ring Simon. |

I fitted a set of Harrington bumpers to my 122S. They were difficult to fit (lots of fettling) but they are great now that they are on. None of that chrome pitting.

I bought mine from Harringtons and other than the front overriders they have been quite good. They have been on my Amazon for 12 years now and still look good. If I could master putting up pictures I would do so.
