I am interested in obtaining information on converting by rubber bumper car back to a crome bumper car. I saw an article in Moss Motors about a complete kit that they sell to complete the conversion.

I wouldn't categorize it as a bolt-on, weekend job, no. And a lot more work would be required to lower the car, which IMO would be absolutely necessary -- otherwise you wind up with the "granny in a

Am I the only person in the world that actually likes the look of the rubber bumper MGB's? To me, they give the car a bit more of a cleaner, more modern appearance. Of course, just my opinion <g> Ala

No, I think they look just fine on the V8 with its chunkier wheels and tyres. But maybe that's just because I've got one :o) Check out the new British Cars Forum: http://www.team.net/the-local/tiki-v

No, I don't mind the ones on my '76 B. Frankly, if I was looking for weight reduction, I would look into the fiberglass bumpers that mimic the look of the rubber ones. I'd even paint 'em black.... Am

I kind of waffle between its ok and I want to get rid of it. The weight is the big thing. Also, in my opinion it looks unfinished if it doesn't have a spoiler under it. Like it has no chin. I got an

No, you are not the *only*... but probably in the minority. IMO, the chrome bumper B's have the more classic look. But, considering the times (take a look at what was being made in the late 70's by

Those are the Sabrina overriders. Those were on the '74s. And I've actually seen them on a '72. There were a bit much. When I had my '72, I took the regular overriders off. -- ______ Paul T. Root / _

How delicate are bumpers made of fiberglass? I'd imagine that there's some flexibility, but wouldn't they shatter (or at least dent/crack) if they got solidly whacked while parking? As long as my bum
