Harrington the the dist for the Vietnam company.

(copy of one my my own emails back in 2021)

Please note thatwhile the shape of the bumpers is the same for_Spitfire 
M4, GT6 MK3 and1500_, there are two different types of number plate 
light holes in the rear bumper.

  The original rear bumper we use as pattern for reproduction has two 
bigger holes and two smaller holes for mounting one big license plate 
light frame. These holes are correct for_GT6 MK3, Spitfire Mk4 and early 
1500 models_. Later 1500 models did, however, use two separate lights 
and as such the holes are different – I am afraid that we do not supply 
the rear bumper with these holes, but should your car really be a later 
1500 model I can offer you to not pre-drill the holes so you can make 
them yourself. You can find a photo at the bottom of this email and 
confirm which type you require.

  We can have the bumpers ready for shipping within 15-20 working days 
after receipt of payment and confirmation. Shipping is with airfreight 
which only takes 3-4 days straight to your door.

  With regards to payment - we accept Paypal, Bank transfer. In case you 
decide to order, please let me know which method you prefer, I will then 
send you more details.

Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

  Best Regards,

Thao
