yeh i suppose you can.

whether its going to get you pulled though is another matter!  :grin:

you'll need to refit your bumper mount brackets in place though to help support the front subframe in the chassis legs. unfortunately this will leave you with 'sharp edges' (MOT fail)


I don't think a semi will give the same results

Yes as long as you have no sharp edges and the number plate / indicators on view.

I believe the bumper bolts through the subframe so you will need to sort that.

Not if anything sharp or protruding will be left as a result... Obviously you will still need to keep your indicators and numberplate on.

Completely forgot about this, my bumper is off the golf atm and I needed to go get some stuff to sort it. Then my dad rang asking me to get some hay so i used the truck instead and did my rounds  :smiley:
