Hi all,
I hear different opinions on what everyone thinks. I just took off the front bumper on my 78 and man it was heavy. The back is next. I like the older style bumpers on your cars. Especially the ones that are two pieces. I would love to keep the front bumper off. I think the back would look stupid without something there though. I feel if your going to keep your Fiat stock , then you wouldn't be changing anything on it anyways. One Fiat part for another. If your going to modify it , then put what you want on it. Don't worry what others think. Some things don't always change but there are those times when the head strong realize later,"wow that looks good!" Not that my opinion counts but I'm not to keen on the square turn signals. I'm going to change the front grill on mine and make it one full grill instead of two. I have two new turn signals that are round off my Harley that I'm going to use within the grill area. I'll show pics when I get there.

I am also thinking of what to do with the bumpers, but I am looking more at the Abarth style bumper blocks.

Do these blocks fit on the 82' spiders or are they only for the earlier models? And if anyone has put these on the 2000 models then what do you do with the turn signals?

Blocks fit good on my '79 Spider2000, we've got a bumperless turn signal thread going here, as well. http://www.fiatspider.com/f08/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2495...

Never seen this setup before

That is the stock 74 bumper isn't it? right before they used the big 'ol rubber blocks between the chrome

Looks pretty stock to me - just like mine.

Sadly it's a bit far from home, but I would definitely snap it up for $700. That converts to ... oh wait, about $700 Aussie dollars!
