what to do when you remove the bumper[1977]

[Felipe]

hello there guys...
so finally I have my midget(1977) running now pretty constantly. today I took it for a longer drive on the freeway for the first time, it was really fun...
so I decided to remove my front rubber bumper, 'cause I like how it looks better...
but...
now I don't know what to do with 2 things:
one, to hide the ends of the chassis where the bolts the bumper bolts onto are...

two, the front turn signals. I don't know if there are any lights that will fit into the openings that are behind the rubber bumper.

Has anyone done or seen this done before that could help me out with any suggestions...
as always thank you so much before hand for your replies.

Here is a great site for converting a rubber bumper MGB to chrome. Maybe there is something useful there about running w/o a bumper altogether.

I believe the holes in the front fenders that the turn signal light wiring goes through are just the right shape for the standard, chrome bumpered turn signal assemblies. As for the chassis ends, there are most likely kits available to remove them and add the chrome bumpers to the car.

thank you very much for the help.
i will check out the sites...
i've been definately considering the idea of going w/ out a bumper, i like the look, then i just wondered what i would do to hide the squares where the original bumper bolts onto...

regarding the lights, i've looked at some chrome bumper models but it seems none of their lights fit since those opennings in the body of a '77 curve...???
thanks again so much for the tips, i'll check out the links you guys gave.
...but please if anyone would have any more suggestions i would really like to read them.
