Since  there's no reason to force the plating in there, I don't think 
VW did.  Like Dave, all the ones I remember looking at were painted 
silver inside.  Under that was probably the copper and nickel, with a 
bit of chrome in  places. You can see this peeling up on old bumpers, 
but it's hard to tell  what it was.

When I "restore" an old bumper, I just wire brush it  inside and paint 
it there with something equivalent to Rustoleum silver  paint.




Even the early cars were like this Jim. I think VW did that, just because  
the chrome layer on the inside really didn't show, and the paint made the 
finish  there more consistant. Even my T-34 is like that.
 
I was just remembering the issues Keith had with the Chicago shop, and was  
wondering if the TN shop was more up to his satisfaction. We all know how 
Keith  can get picky about some things. ;-)
