    Suggested source for '72-'73 S style front bumper?

    Looking to install an S type front bumper on '72 T. Any thoughts on source? FG or Steel?

    I have a very handsome steel one. (Off a French ‘73 2.7RS. #188; they used the std S bumper, not RS).

    Perfect condition.

    The front spoiler on the 72 S changed from GRP to steel during model 72. The date or vin giving this point is noted clearly in the workshop manuals if you feel the spoiler material choice is relevant for your T. There is a weight difference. Don't recall exact date of change offhand but think it was after the calendar year change -- an 11/71 production dated S belonging to a friend certainly has GRP. As to source for spoiler I defer to folks in your part of world as international shipping for such thing prohibitive.Steve

    PS Frank probably is teasing as RS 0188 was Austrian OR code I believe
