Default Bumper guards?!

Does anyone know where I can find a NB bumper guard front & back?

I can't even begin to find one for the front.

But how about this one for the rear?

I gotta say that looks pretty darn cool A local shop that does welding and powdercoating could probably fabricate that for you.

Rich hasnt been real active here or on TDIclub lately. I dont recall him being too interested in making them from what I have seen. Its a limited market at best, though I would buy a set in a heartbeat. New Beetles are an increasingly niche market, and of that small market...the vast majority are making them into low, oil pan scraping street machines.

Here's a link to his site and many more photos and even a cool offroad NB video:
