Bumperless Cars

[RZ1]

I remember when I was growing up there was a period when people would remove the bumpers from cars to give them a more sporty look.

Did anyone ever do this?

What's your favourite bumperless car, for me I always remember the early Fiesta and golf GTI's looking great without front bumpers. Also some of the early 3 series BMW's

Surely the Alfa 105 takes that prize?

Ha - great minds!

Those alfas are gorgeous

The BMW shark nose era cars were lovely with bumpers removed

Phtt, we never had bumpers to remove in the first place. TVR

Not sure if by design or not, but hey they look good so....





This still has a bumper (of sorts) but looks more purposeful than standard...

Is that a escort mexico

[Fleckers]

bumper removal on anything that had chrome bumpers was a must in my eyes back in 80's, normally on cars fomr 70's like the escorts as shown

A series Opel Manta's also worked very well with out bumpers and so did minis

I also liked the 1/4 bumpers on each corner

Those mk1 Escorts are gorgeous! Want.

I ran my old mk1 Golf fast road/track car bumperless for a while, but I preferred it bumpers on tbh... (Excuse the ghetto zip-tied on indicators!..)

Another Alfa;

This was the first thing I thought of, mk1 XR2. The only picture I could find was this one, not sure it looks too great actually but you get the idea. Capri looks cool without bumpers too. Doesn't work on modern cars though!

I know the thread is closed, but any excuse to post another old Alfa. Behold. Pretty much my dream car....
