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!

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.

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..
