At last. After months of calling and visiting the shop i bought an NOS-bumper. The owner told me this spring he was sure he had a Type III bumper somewhere laying around for already 25 years in a seperate storage. The only problem was to find it there and bring it to the shop. Every time i called or visited he told me to try again tomorrow or the day after. I did, leaving a week or so in between. I think I must have telephoned about 30 times and visited the shop about 8 times. I remained polite and so did he though the waiting-time was absurd. When he showed me the old style rear bumper today and asked 38$ (thirty-eight) for it i had a hard time not smiling. I said "We're not gonna discuss this price". He said "no, you shouldn't, if you would sell this bumper at a VW-event you could get twice as much". I said "I'm sure you would".
