Harrington Bumpers...Anyone used them before???
Harrington Bumpers...Anyone used them before???
by PastDown » Wed Jan 06, 2010 1:03 pm
Hi,
I was thinking about purchasing some stainless steel bumpers and i found this company on the net and i was wondering if anyone has used them before or if anyone knows anything about them.
all i know they are a British company in Vietnam.
Cheers

Paul - I was going to message you to see if your bumpers are stainless steel or chrome.
Did you buy them from this company?
cheers

Hi mate
Yea - they are from Harrington - no issues at all...they are stainless - never blemished in 2 years - highly recommended
I know they are not cheap - but I think they are worth it fella
Cheers

Got mine off them when the firm was quite young (4 years ago ish) I am not one for polishing my van, but 4 years on and they still got the bling factor

Early ones 4/5 years ago didn't fit very well without modding them but not sure about later ones. The us spec overriders are a bit square and the tubes a bit narrow but the standard ones look fine.

Got a ribbed set on my bus and they look top drawer! Metal a bit thinner than original but still great.Ordered direct from Vietnam and Harringtons did a deal on import tax and put the order through as automotive samples. Compared with having to source a decent pair of OG bumpers and getting fleeced in the process I think I got a good deal!
Cheers, Mark
