Recently purchased a 1970 Deluxe and I am now looking to buy a set of Clipper bumper trims and as you may know they are not that easy to get in good shape.
At one time I had a pair of NOS rear trims but couldn't find the front ones or the rubbers for it , so I posted my NOS trims up for sale on The Samba. A gentleman here in the States purchased this from me saying he wanted to reproduce them so we made a deal.
Many years later I found myself looking for a complete set again so I went to that gentleman's website just yesterday and to my surprise he is now reproducing bumper trims for early bays.
He's got the trims for '68 and '69 available for purchase but the '70 to '72 are not yet available so I contacted him to find out when would this be ready and he says he had plans to do those next including the rubbers but demand has not been that great for early bay trims.
He did not know about this website so I told him I would post a thread here to see if anyone else was interested.
Here are some pictures.
68-69 trims , this are not the same as split , they fit your baywindow bumper.
Front
Rear
70-72
70-72 rubber
Split bus trims.

I must say I am not related to his business in any way , in fact I have purchased 2 sets of split bus trims from him for my customers and got no stinking discount :lol: , good quality stuff tough.
