If you're talking about the two front black rubber "underriders," yes, they can be removed. However, you'll be left with two body-colored frame extensions that look worse. I have a '76 and have ordered a pair of the less-obtrusive, earlier-style underriders that were installed on '71-'73 MKIV and 1500 models. It appears they can be installed on later models once you remove a plate at the front of the frame extensions. I should know within a week or so if it's a direct swap and will post results. Wish me luck.

I, too, would like too see how your swap goes! If its not hard, I may like to loose my big ugly rubber overriders also! Send me a pic, or post it if you can put it one your own website (then just use the "image" button when posting to point to the picture).

All of this talk suddenly made me think of this:
