Special Front Bumper VE3 differences between OEM & aftermarket

[z28z11]

The first shot of the black primered VE3 below is what leads me to believe there might be another color involved. Note the small cut on the back top surface - definitely dark underneath, not amber. Definite original, shaped exactly like my original Lemans bumper in the second picture, same brackets and round mold points.

The only way to have determined the base color would have been to sand it - no way I would have done that, though. Didn't really even think about other material colors other than to compare all the details to make sure it wasn't a repro -

Thanks and regards,
Steve

Steve, Do you have anymore pics of the dark urethane bumper ?

Try these. The red tint you see is a previous red top coat over the black. In a couple of shots, you can see the black underneath the end bracket mounting areas.

Goes without saying - I should not have sold this one, although it did go to a CRG member. Too hard to replace nowadays -

Regards,

Thank you Steve... We can see the back side it's made from black and not the Amber colored urethane.Got any more detailed pics of the back?
