Morning Glenn,
The coupe you pictured is my old car. It was converted from a Series one coupe to a Series two coupe visually. I bought the front bumper, rear bumper and lower valiance from a roadster in a junk yard.

On of the guys in the UK is starting to get pieces parts reproduced. He has lots of molds. His name is Graham Walden. He purchased the old MET molds. the site is still up I think.

That is the factory color of my car as well... it's beautiful! I am extremely partial to YELLOW... but the pic of your car makes me rethink that. glad to know its a series 2 bumper from a roadster!

If I remember correctly there were maybe three different bumper set ups in the US. There was the big black federal block bumper, the smaller fiberglass with the grooves and a smoother rounder one like the picture on the coupe but with two different rubber styles glued to it.
Google images of the 280i and look at the different bumpers. I still have a set of the big black federal bumpers which aren't in the greatest shape and the rear lower cover if you happen to not have one. The bumpers, I'll probably throw out sooner or later.
Talk to Hayden Olenak, he was/is parting out a 280i. See what he has left.

I've got 4-5 front bumper moulds from the early ribbed style, 350is2 is probably the best looking.

we can ship to the usa although it costs almost as much to ship as it does for the part, due to length

I had a 450SE spoiler sent over... It's worth getting it properly packaged if you do it. (i.e. Larger size box.) Grady
