If you're looking to replace or install the front and rear blade bumpers on your 1954 through 1967 Beetle and need all the parts, look no further. Our front and rear, triple chrome plated blade bumper kit comes with the lower bumper brackets for both the front and the rear, four pairs of bumper spacers, lower bumper bracket seals, and all of the hardware needed to bolt both the bumpers to the brackets and to bolt the brackets to the cars. You provide a Beetle, we've covered everything else to install new bumpers on it. If you want to add bumper guards or "bumperettes", you will need to drill additional holes between the brackets and properly treat the raw edge to ensure it doesn't rust. If you just plan to run the blade by itself, you are good to go!
Our Expert's Take:
We have seen high dollar chrome plated parts from local shops rust within a month. Make sure to keep the chrome waxed and clean, and it should last you for years, they have on our cars. When installing the bumpers, install all the parts loosely, then tighten the hardware. Depending on past damage to your car, bending, trimming and even drilling new holes in the bumper brackets might be required to install the bumpers.
Triple Chromed vs. Single Chromed

- Great for quality restorations
- Same metal thickness as triple chrome bumpers

Chrome Maintenance and What to Expect:
Chrome plating metal is an electro-plating process that is highly regulated due to the chemicals involved. Chrome products made today don't go through the same preparation & plating procedures they did 60 years ago. Many chemicals contained mercury and cyanide and have been banned for environmental reasons.
- We highly recommend maintaining any chrome on your vehicle by applying a car wax or detailing spray on a regular basis
- Consider coating the backside of your bumper with paint or a rust inhibitor.
- Triple chrome bumpers that are properly maintained and kept in dry, non-salty-air environments will last for years
- If you don't maintain the chrome and/or your vehicle is exposed to moisture and/or salt, there is a higher chance that you will see rusting and pitting.
- Single chrome bumpers are economically priced and more succeptible to rusting and pitting
