I always look in the FS section if any of theses come up. How rare are they ?

i am looking at the very early "small" ones.

thanks.

very

[eastsidebimmer]

Very and when they do come up they are either $40 or $400, roll the dice.

I've been looking for a set for several years.

Scarce, indeed!

[PatAllen]

craaaap.

[ClayW]

Pretty rare, so I guess I should keep mine!

you could prob find someone here who has a set, just post in wanted, and maybe get them rechromed if necessary?

Are these for a '71 or older? Sign me up for needing a set.

I looked for these in Germany when I was there in Aprril and couldn't even find a set there, they are nearly unobtanium.

I'm pretty sure that these are the European-only style, but I could be wrong.

Someone should really put together a "Bumperette Spotter's Guide". Jim Gerock?

I have nice driver quality one that I would trade for a pair of ratty ones. A bit of chrome has flaked off on one side, but overall it's pretty nice. I'd like to find a well used set for my '67. I'll post it under Parts FS/Wanted. Good luck on your search.

Try eBay Germany (ebay.de) and search for Stoßstangenhorn. There are a couple on there now that are cheap (for starters anyway). I've found it's wise to ask the seller first if they are willing to ship to the USA and how much shipping would be.

I haven't done this with BMW parts yet, but for many years I bought classic Mercedes-Benz (heckflosse) parts this way. Once I had a relationship with a particular seller I would usually just skip eBay and email a request. It was never an issue that I don't know German; the sellers always found a way to answer me in English.

What about the "strap" covers like for the rear? Do they make them for the front also ?

I am thinking if the late model euro (or us 73) horns can be modified to look like those?
