Do you know about anyone that are parting out a type 44? I need both
front & rear bumper shocks - impossible to find here..

I rearended (yeah, stupid me!) another car last winter at about 2 mph.
Damage to euro bumper? Front bumper plastic cracked, the "bracing"
inside was bent really out of shape and the mounts on the car became
deformed. If I had US bumpers, nothing would have happened..
