Would a bumper cause a vibration

Could be. Can't cite any references, but I do remember reading that the TR7 and TR8 convertibles did have a special front bumper designed as a harmonic balancer.

The irony about the convertible bumpers harmonic design is it was meant for the TR7 which came out first and had all the vibration/handling issues. I have never had any issues with a TR8 with the rubber mounted bumpers and vibrations. It has just been the sag that looks like crap. Typically owner would toss the bumper and go with a coupe bumper that bolts directly to the frame and has a flusher fit on the tip to the body recess.
