I'm gonna try and make one similar to that Roy Wood big litre van (the yellow one) I think I could do it from two normal bumpers and a bit of effort, so that's the kind of bumper I'd like to see - not too showy, just an improvement on the original :)

Roy Woods V8 Transit had a Fibresports front bumper.

Thats a FibreSport bumper, used to be sold by the Van Shop in Kent... there was full kit on ebay a couple of weeks back and only went for £100
Quite a few on those on here, have a look at this thread

I really like Spudmans bumper - interesting how he did it in situ, I was hoping to work down the garden then just bring it out once it's all painted nice and fit it straight on (rather than spending ages sitting in the road cutting and sanding with the neighbours wondering what I'm up to). It's practically what I want - just need to incorporate extra lights as per the FibreSport one :)
Mind you though...a few of the bumpers on that thread were a bit yuky :P

what would you all like as a fibreglass kit? something like cycovan or something more modern. I am currently discussing having a Mk5 bumper made that looks similar to a Mk6 but without the need to go to a Mk4 front grille. and a smoother line

let me know your ideas and i will see what he and i can come up with and costs.

Cheers

i was thinking off a bumper like this one would look good on a mk3 mk4 mk5

AndyJ fitted a VW bumper, different to your picture, but I dont think he had too many problems getting it to fit
