 Paper clip bumper bars, where to buy? Hi all, yes I'm still alive and my 2CV is slowly emerging from it's long sleep.. I am wanting to get a pair of the 60's "park by feel" paper clip bumper bars, but I can't find them for sale anywhere, new or second hand! This is the type I mean..  Any info would be good, even what they might be called in French so I can search over there. Cheers!

Thanks! I think at those prices I'd be inclined to go to the nearest DIY shop [B&Q?] and buy some chrome bathroom/shower tubing & a pipe bender ...and attempt to make my own. T.

Re: Paper clip bumper bars, where to buy? It would be relatively easy to make some with a pipe bender and some stainless steel tube and bits n bobs, I'll have a go at this when I have bought some to use as a template. And a tig welder..
