Abarth Style Bumper Blocks..
Abarth Style Bumper Blocks..
I'm planning on removing my pipe bumpers on my spider and was hoping anyone has suggestions for sources of
the abarth bumpers beside the $499.00 versions on Bruce's, since they are the only ones selling them.
I see that Jeep CJ bumpers were used in the past but don't like the fit of that one based on the pics...
Any suggestions....

Every few weeks those Abrath style bumper blocks are available on ebay for around $260, I don't know if anybody has bought any off of that seller.

The ones that show up on ebay are from Germany.They have high shipping and a long wait .I dont know re. quality ,but I know someone who has ordered them and is awaiting delivery(3-4 wk.). I am waiting to see what Mark comes out with.

Re: Abarth Style Bumper Blocks..
mine will be all fiberglass-more of a visual thing than a real bumper
Re: Abarth Style Bumper Blocks..
I still don't think the jeep ones should be knocked out of consideration if you want an Abarth look. I think the application ON a bumper shock looks different than they would mounted onto the car itself. Just something to consider.

Mark... any way to get the molds designed and have true rubber bumpers made with structural brackets that attach to collapsed shocks?So Cal Mark wrote:mine will be all fiberglass-more of a visual thing than a real bumper
I want something that'll protect at least the front end some. I think there's enough interest to have plenty here to buy these bumpers.

Re: Abarth Style Bumper Blocks..
The ones on ebay are fiberglass mock ups also,not actual bumpers.
