well, the seller took the bumpers apart for me, AND found a way to ship them to Taiwan for 120 euros.. (not 40, but also not 800 euros)
To be continued.
it took a while, but the bumper arrived! Just the main bar, for shipping the complete bumper set simply would have been unaffordable. Costs all-in 414 euro, to my door in Taiwan. That is not cheap, but buying and shipping a new one from VDH would have been 4x more expensive.
Still, for that money you'd want a real nice specimen. And it is! Almost spotless.
So, in the end, it wasn't 40 euros in shipping, and it took quite a few mails back and forth, but turned out a pretty good deal.
Thinking to maybe mount that one first, while I learn to park that car in hectic Taipei.
