They are also hard to straighten and rechrome without leaving ripples. Good used corners are getting scarce and expensive, and many reproductions do not follow the curve of the Ghia's rear fenders well, which leaves an uneven gap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Denmark-made corner from JP Group is a higher-grade option for a restoration where the bumper has to line up with the body. Buy the left corner and centre piece at the same time if you want the chrome to match across the whole bumper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJP Group is a Danish maker of replacement parts for classic Volkswagens and Porsches, sold under the JP Group, Dansk and Classic names, with EMPI as its US distributor.
