I don't know why nobody yet makes replicas of these fragile items...
VW was nuts to make them out of this horrible (if easily-repaired, and
it's wanna be) material.

It would be nice if someone made repros out of the so-tough plastic
the Japanese make their bumpers from. These can be hit and turned
almost inside-out, and you almost never see one with a split.

I'd planned to make a flexible set from the fiberglass bumpers &
side-cladding I bought from one of Bostig's buddies, but it looks like
those are never going to actually be sent...

I don't know what I was going to make them from... something flexible
but not droopy, that won't tear, snap or split... possibly
fiber-reinforced.
