anyone run bumper-less

[trafficfaceGTI]

im trying to find pictures of projects or full cars that are bumperless and without wheel arch trim. this look is more from other car scenes but i was just curious.

before anyone says, no bumpers are not a legel requirement, no sharp edges meens its ok 

found these pics but its not a mk2 and it is rat, you get the idea of the profile im looking for

well if you want to be anal about it if you read an mot test manual if you take the bumper off and there is sharp edges its still ok... unmanufactured sharp edges due to corrosion or damage are not. so if the manufacterer made it sharp regardless if it was covered up or not its fine crazy aint it

great film!

but this is how they look without a bumper:



doesnt suit the mk2

I believe there is also an issue with the bumper being a structural component. Something to do with the front subframe iirc.

Er, no.

It has been done before. Generically, it looks shit without any kind of compromise.

Mk2's are a model of car, that does not take well to any kind of aftermarket bodging.

either big or small bumpers, or maybe some chrome ones. Nowt else.

loud and clear i did wonder why everyone is keeping it stock, what bumpers is Chris using in his banner,

mk2 big bumpers?
