The turn signal style bumper accepts the VW of Mexico style bumper mounted turn signals and is single chrome plated. The bumper fits the front of 1968 through 1973 Standard and 1971 through 1973 Super Beetles and requires turn signal style bumper brackets.

The Turn Signal Bumper Brackets are sold separately as are the Bumper Mounted Turn Signal Assemblies

Note - If you are relocating your factory turn signals from the bumpers to the fenders, lengthening your factory wiring will most likely be necessary.

Also note that the Mexico style turn signal assemblies are designed for a dual filament bulb with parallel alignment posts. US spec (1157 style bulbs) have offset posts to align the bulb with the correct wire (turn signal to bright filament, running light to low filament). We have used the US spec bulbs in the assemblies for years, using only the lower bulb post to hold the bulb in place. Make sure that you check that the bulb is correctly aligned when first installing it.


Triple Chromed vs. Single Chromed

Which bumper is right for you?
Triple Chromed 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


Chrome Maintenance and What to Expect:

We put this notice on all chrome products, regardless of manufacturer, or origin.

Chrome plating is an electro-plating process that is highly regulated due to the environmental impacts of the chemicals, metals, and the exhaust gasses released during the process.

We highly recommend maintaining any chrome on your vehicle by applying a car wax or detailing spray on a regular basis

Here are some additional tips:

  • Hubcaps - Spray paint the inside with paint or rust inhibitor, wax chrome finish regularly
  • Bumpers - Spray paint the inside with paint or rust inhibitor, wax chrome finish regularly
  • Exterior Mirrors - Lightly wax chrome finish regularly
  • Exterior Chrome Trim - Lightly wax chrome finish regularly

If you properly maintain the chrome and keep your car stored in a dry, non-salty-air environment, the chrome will last.
