and broke my front bumper luckily, not much danage at all, the bit of fibreglass which holds the bumper on under the arch trim snapped and the arch trim totally popped off and was lying in the middle of the road (I was doing a 3 point turn)





so, in order for me to repair it, i thought it would be easier to take the bumper off.....



and put the standard one on for the next few days......




its only a small job though, simple enough to do, just had to use the car today so i thought it wud b best to have a bumper on there

i think it is illegal as its potentially very harmful to people if you were to hit them and also the impact to another car would be greater
