Most Volkswagen Buses are originally equipped with bumpers painted white or black, while chrome bumpers are only available in luxury versions.
On VW Bus vehicles that were designed as utility vehicles, a chrome bumper had no added value, it would only be disadvantageous for the purchase price.
Utility Buses were generally not well treated, they had to serve the purpose for which they were designed and the occasional scratch or dent didn't matter. It's likely that not a single utility Bus can be found with original, undamaged bumpers.
Here is the solution: a new bumper to replace the damaged original.
