  • Triple Chrome Finish
  • Fits the Rear of 1968-1973 Standard Beetle
  • Bumper Brackets and Bumper Bracket Seals Sold Separately
  • The Highest Quality Replacement Bumper Available

This 1968-1973 Beetle and 1971-1973 Super Beetle rear bumper is triple chrome plated for a bright and durable finish that will last years if kept clean and waxed occasionally. This is the best replacement bumper available. It is thicker than all of the other options and the chrome plating is superior to other triple chrome products on the market.

Our Front & Rear Bumper Kit Has All the Stuff

If you need to add the front bumper as well, check out our bumper kit. Our 1968-1973 Beetle bumper kit includes both the front and rear bumpers, all of the brackets, the bumper bracket seals, and all of the bolts and washers for installation.

Triple Chromed vs. Single Chromed

Which bumper is right for you?
Triple Chromed Bumper
(This Bumper)
  • Same metal thickness as single chrome bumpers
  • Same stamping and design as single chrome bumpers
  • Three layers of nickel plating
  • More reflective and shinier than single chrome
  • Chrome finish will last for years with occasional maintenance
  • Great for quality restorations
Single Chromed Bumper
 
  • Same metal thickness as triple chrome bumpers
  • Same stamping and design as triple chrome bumpers
  • Single layer of nickel plating
  • Less bright and reflective as triple chrome
  • Expect chrome to pit over time even with maintenance
  • Perfect for budget builds, patina, or if you plan to paint or powdercoat the bumper

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
