Are you looking for euro bumpers or 82-87 bumpers?
in the UK 82-87 have the so-called 'chrome bumpers' and the 87-89 models have the so-called 'world' bumpers. An 80-82 635 front bumper is also very similar to an 82-87 one, and will interchange with only a little fiddling, but is not identical.
In the UK you will find the 'world' bumpers (less their plastic parts) fairly easily.
The earlier front bumpers can also be found (but again often less their chrome parts) whereas the rear bumpers are more difficult to find in good condition. The side (wrap-around) rear sections are especially difficult to find without rampant corrosion present, and the centre section is often damaged; the slightest knock will push these in, they are very fragile by comparison with the other bumpers fitted.
I have a pair of 'world' bumpers (less the plastic side sections, but with front spoiler and the rear valance) which are for sale, but I would imagine the shipping costs will be horrendous- they weigh a lot.

"chrome" bumpers
yes im looking for the 82 to 87 for the rear but for the front from what has been discussed it looks like i could get a earlier bumper and valence. any help with tracking down these parts would be greatly appreciated i understand that shipping may be pricey from overseas but i am set on doing the conversion!
