    Not many golfs over here, especially in wreckers yards. And those bumpers are rare and expensive.

    I thought Tooley's still sold them? (Although made in Brazil)
    The end caps are hard to get.

    Hi and welcome.
    Tasmania is the place to see ,costs are lower than the big smoke.
    There were lots of Golfs around with those bars but are getting harder to find but not impossible.
    Just being observant but the picture of the red Golf has its bar ends on upside down or wrong way around.

    The red one isn't mine, but I'll keep that in mind incase I ever get some euro bumpers.

    So on a scale of 1-10 how hard would it be to get 10 complete sets? Preferable OE. Used of course.

    How rare and expensive are we talking? I'm sure they are much more pricey over here.

    20-30 sounds just about right to me. That's how hot it is here right now, although we hit 44 with the humidex yesterday. That was miserable to work in.

    Looks like I won't be able to rent a car... that really sucks. I'm only 20.

    Thanks for the warm welcome, this seems like a very friendly forum and I'm sure I'l be sticking around

    You could probably buy an old car for less than the rental cost and sell it or dump it before you leave.

    I have sold a set of those bumpers on ebay for $500 and sent them to the UK.

    Dont fancy your chances of getting ten sets.

    If you pay extra, about $12/day, you can hire a car if you are 21-25.

    That's all.

    I'm 20 so it looks like renting a car is out of the question.

    Hmm from someone else I talked to from Australia he made it sound like you were loaded with bumpers. He said he was about to throw a set out.

    I was hoping to bring a few sets back to help offset the cost of the trip. They normally sell for about 1000 US over here from the couple of sets I've seen for sale.

    In regards to buying a car, is there a temp trip permit I can get on it or just regester it for road use for a month? What are the regulations you have?
