I Have triple plated chrome bumpers that I purchased from a local VW parts store (inexpensive set) and they still rusted. I dont think that they are plated like they used to be with nickel and copper first. I noticed that Wolfsburg West is offering some bumpers with a "true show-quality triple chrome plating process" That would lead me to believe that they are of a better quality than what is typically offered at your local VW parts store. I need to sit down and email them find out what makes their bumpers superior to what I already have. On several occasions where I opted to go the less expensive route it has ended up costing me more in the long run. I once purchased a set of portawalls because I did not want to spend the money to purchase the real whitewalls from Coker. I went through two sets of portawalls before I decided that this was nuts. I purchased a set of widewhites from Coker thru Discount Tires. The tires were a good purchase and have not given me any problems. If given the choice between German and parts from another country I always opt for German. Each time that I purchased German parts I have never been disappointed with the quality or the fit. take care, Greg
