Do you know if they are the same as the Harrington ones (e.g. their suppliers)?

these bumpers look really good and obvouisly they will last a lot longer than chrome,and the quality of them is superb.
BUT...mine were a nightmare to fit,especially the front one.
lots of fettling,dont let this put any one off though,if your wanting new bumpers,these are a lot cheaper than re chroming and will last a far lot longer.

I bought via Harrington, and they were delivered from Veitnam direct. I thought there was a mistake to start with.

I also had a lot of trouble fettling them. I had to enlarge some holes, trim bits here and there, and use quite a few washers to get everything to sit flat and true. The captive nuts were a different thread to the old ones, and new bolts werent supplied which anoyed me more than it should have.

That said, they do look pretty damn good, and are about half the weight of the steel ones. Cant complain about the price either.
