Default Non-Ford Bumper Sought

One for the FB’ers and self-serve trawlers. Cairns to bottom of Tasmania, west to Ceduna. Spotter’s fee payable if it leads to a good purchase.

I’m looking for a front bumper like this. Either NOS or tidy used condition. They’re a textured plastic, so refinished ones never look quite right.
Yes, it’s for a bent Citroën.

My alternative is shipping ex-Europe, probably from Poland. I would bring in several bumpers as a sea freight crate if doing this.

I’d like to know why Fleabay didn’t turn up that bar in my searching. Could be worth a look this week.

I bent this van in 2014 (pilot error, I snotted an A3 wagon) and have dragged it around like a tired old dog on a chain ever since. I’m trying to clear dead wood and it’s too handy a size for binning.

I missed the one PJ found for me, just got a quote of $900 USD to ship an aftermarket (new) by DHL. Yours might be better value!

I found the advert, sounds like the usual head gasket (age) failure.

Being 4000km away is a problem, I’m not at all confident K-Seal would get it here.

There’s only one way to find out.
If he will sell the bumper by itself I don’t mind going for a drive to pick it up, I have around four weeks off work so not pressed for time.
