Loose the bumpers

Post by michaelgough »

I really want to loose the stock bumpers. Could go with the Abarth style bumperettes, or am receptive to any other original ideas. From my research the bumperettes are pretty spendy, $350, plus one has to make a custom bracket. Any ideas?

1. Look at the red Pininfarina at the top of the page.

2. Use your search function, either the built in one or Google, to search the various sections for bumperless, bumpers, bumperettes, etc... there is so much info on here!

yup, the search works great.
I'm a fan of the "quick jack" type, as used on the Cobras and other roadsters.

Here's the ones I bought off evil-bay, bid & got them for min bid $239 + shipping from Germany.

They are fiberglass w/ metal tubes coming off the back that go right into the old bumper shock holes & bolt in with the original bolts.

Here's a pic of the rears mounted.
