tape some foam to the front edges! lol

Take the chance. I drove 55 miles down the M4, passed a few jam Sandwiches and didn't get pulled. If you are worried get a mate to escort you to the garage.

right ok going to check the tutorials on how to do it if any of you guys fancies telling me and saving me some time I would be very appreciative

go for it, just try not to slice any pedestrians in half ;)

The skirts are def no problem but I think as people have said unless its a rap around bumper like on a fiesta MK1 (which obviously a GSi isn't!) then yeah it is illegal to drive but just to the body shop I wouldnt worry too much about it, its not like u goin miles down the motorway like that or anythin!

how easy is it to take off the front then I might just fu@k it and do it, its not that far away

I drove mine for a whole weekend going to and from my friends house who lives 14 miles away,with no Front bumper.
He was spraying my bumper so had to get there somehow.
Luckily I didnt encounter any police but didnt really think about it at the time.

I can imagine jesus christ, known my luck I would crash and get banged up

I personally would risk taking them off if its not far.
Just dive down a back street if you see plod.
Make sure you still display your number plate though.

I c the kids are playing on the board again lads must of just got home from school

right so basically take off the skirts and they can be sent out, is there a way I can take out some of the screws and just leave a couple in for easiness, might just take off skirts and then leave the bumper

the skirts aint a problewm but the bumper will be they will pull you on sight m8

Cant see why there should be a problem with the skirts.

But think with no front bumper you might be illegal cos of the sharpe edges, ie if someone stepped out in front of u and u hit them, its going to be messy!

You would prob get away with it tho, or just take a mate with you, drive there with bumper on, take it off ureself when you get there and stick bumper in back of ure mates car or sumit.

I am glad we have sensible people on here to guide me so I dont get fu@ked off john law

really how about f:ck off

My view........scrap your car, they'll give you a whole £25 for it if you take the tyres off.

any other views ? the body shop is about 5 - 10 minutes drive maximum, what about the skirts ? cheers

well it probably illegal if i dont have a front bumper cos then its not covering the sharpe edges or something like that. but if the bodyshop aint far then just chance it

I am getting my new front and skirts fitted at the end of the week or start of next week, what I am wondering is if I take off my front and the skirts and then leave the car on my drive will I still be legal if I drive the car down to the bodyshop or not ? please as many views as possible wanting to get this stuff sent to the guys thats paid for it especially the front many thanks for any help given, Paul...:D:thumbs:
