Yeah me too...late 70s bugs have it the worst when it comes to bumpers and lights, wish they would have kept using the less obnoxious ones they had on early 70s models.

You can get early bumper brackets from cip1. Makes it to where you can fit the older simpler straight bumper across the front and rear.

Sorry for keeping you guys in the dark. The car has been in the shop for a little while getting some carb and intake manifold work done. I do have a few parts that are waiting to be installed (a new steering/porsche inspired livery). The day i get the car back i will be spamming pictures so be on the lookout

Here is some initial d inspired artwork for your viewing pleasure
