I have had these for many years and cannot remember where I got them from. Most probably they were in a box of parts that I got or bought years ago.

Anyone knows what these overriders are from?
They are handed, ie. the left one is a mirror to the right one. Approx max height is 14 cm, width 8 cm. They are quite thin chromed steel. The welded nut inside them is UNF not metric which makes me think they are either from a British car or American. The bolts seem to go with the overriders, both bolts have the same square washer.
Maybe they are not overriders but underriders - not sure if that exist?
The top, or bottom, is flat so they maybe are fixed underneath a tail lamp? Just guessing. In both there is a small hole as well.
Maybe they are to be fitted horizontally - as ends of a bumper?

I hope these can be identified!

Hi,I think you may be closer to the mark with bumper end caps. For them to be over riders would need a very large bumper(going by the shape).
Cheers,JD.
