They were dangerous, I nearly got smacked by one of them whilst cycling once.

As said, you don't need fog lights, but you do need indicators, I've seen them relocated to the bottom of the bumper and it looks good!

Also as someone else said, you've got the towing eye to think about aswell

They have to be a minimum height by law, I believe the bottom of the bumper is too low.

Loads of people on Ed38 maybe breaking the law then!

Think the minimum height is around 350mm  :undecided:

I am not sure what the minimum height is but I know when they converted the Rover 75 to MG versions which included lowering they had to fit new front bumpers with higher mounted indicators.

Standard they are quite low so I would say bottom of the bumper is way too low.
