Default 411 S3 bumpers

Does anyone know if 411 S3 used bumpers from another car? I've seen the link to https://groupharrington.com/product/...l-411-bumpers/ who I belive are in Vietnam, but would rather source from the UK if possible. Otherwise has anyone used Harringtons? if so, what's the verdict please?
Thanks

Default V8 Bumpers

I have tried for ages to find the answer to that question for my 407. The people you mention I have heard of and I see they list a 406 set.
I wonder , jumping on your question, apologies, if any one has used them and if they know that 406 bumpers will fit a 407.
Thank you.

Over the years I have acquired six sets of Harrington's bumpers four directly from the company one from a specialist in the UK who was their agent at the time and one set for my S2 Bentley acquired from an owner who had given up the restoration on his car. The others were for two R Type Bentley's, Bristol 411/3, Bristol 603 and Bristol 401.
The bumpers are excellent quality easy to fit and very easy to maintain far better than chrome. The 411 bumpers are unique to Bristol so its either repair and rechrome which may work out dearer than buying a set of stainless bumpers from Harrington.
I found the company great to deal with and would have no hesitation buying from them again.
Groff.
