While we're adding stuff to the shopping list, how about a bridge spoiler also.. even the replicas seem far more available on European ebay.

Someone with a ship and a warehouse could make a fortune importing even just 1 boat load of european bumpers of various '70s and '80s cars.

Wauw.. I've replied to two of the PM's i got.. But it seems there is way more interest than i expected.. I'll check with my previous company to check for the price of a single euro bumper.. I know a lot of places who have a lot of bumpers laying around as there are a lot of cars getting trashed lately.

And about the bridgestyle spoiler: I'll check for prices on those, they are not really expensive i guess but i don't know what the prices are in the US?

It might be easier for you to ship 5 or 6 bumpers to me, then I could distribute them to the other US people.

It's not so much the price, as it is the availability... I simply can't find them in the US.

This seems like the way to do it.

Well, they are very easily available in Europe, it took me 30 seconds to obtain one!

And i'll check for getting several bumpers to the US (probably to Jeff) But i have to figure out about shipping and transferring money so i hope you guys are not in a real rush..

I've been looking for a set for a while too but the shipping has been a deal breaker for me. Sucks too since they are so cheap and plentiful overseas. Maybe combined shipping would be cheaper?
I'd be interested in a 924 set.

You can get a 924 euro bumper. They're very hard to find in the US (I spent almost 6 weeks last summer looking for one after my car was rear ended) but you might have luck on UK ebay.

I can post some more pictures of how my car looks with a euro rear bumper

Dutch944 you might want to contact Van Zweeden in your country. They have a bunch of 944 parts probably the biggest in Europe. I've visited them a number of times and bought back stuff. I'm normally in Europe twice a year but didn't make it last year. Shipping in a shared container is quite cheap but takes 2-3 weeks and needs customs clearance and port collection (unless you have a shipping agent do that for you).

Parts to ship if you go that route: Euro 10.6cr pistons, front fenders, front spoiler/valance, welded in rear battery trays (UK models) yes they had them new! Also 951 Fuchs are much cheaper there. Just throwing this out there as an option.
