More newbie questions. I love My new 79 Spitfire, but...not the bumpers. I did a search, but did not find anything. Can I remove the original bumpers and replace with earlier, chrome bumpers? Any downside to doing this? Thanks!
 
It can be done but you almost need to have a 78 or earlier car. As far as I know, new bumpers are not available.
 
The bumper overriders are the real problem. I got used to the ones on Mum's Spitfire and she's perfectly happy with them, so we never looked into a swap.

I would recommend, instead, that you go see if you can get a set of front springs from a MKIV Spitfire. It makes the front end suspension so much nicer and then you'll be too busy driving about to worry about the bumpers. :smile:
