The 40 Watt Garage - #9365 - Bodywork
I may have the world record for a POL item, but I can't fault FFR.
When I ordered my kit, there was rumor (then reality) of a "new & improved" front bumper/hoop piece. FFR offered me the "old-style" unit (several times), but by my own choice I decided to wait for the new piece. It finally arrived in late October of '20
#9365 was already in Indiana at Jeff's shop, waiting his turn in the queqe behind two other cars. (Jeff was gracious enough to let me "park" it there early, as it accommodated my schedule for delivery) so I shipped him the new front bumper.
I hope this "new & improved" bumper doesn't drive him to a rubber room wearing a canvas shirt that ties in the back. Pics are of (very) initial 1st fitment, after getting the body back on to start door/hood/trunk fitting.

Our conversation on the fitment issues revolved around the (inherent to all MkIV's) non-symmetry of the body & nose-opening, and (possible) non-symmetry of the now one-piece front bumper. If I recall this is the 1st new bumper setup he's worked with.
