....Exactly my thoughts too.

Plus the insurers would almost certainly drop you like a hot brick if no safety girders for public highway use. I think jonnyc may also have removed his.

T88OMM:
OUCH! That looks like a serious smash. I bet the occupants of that had a sore neck in the morning  :surprised:

Not sure which part you are referring to here, do you mean the metal 'bumper' that sits behind the plastic one? I can't believe anyone would ever do such a thing, as they usually have 'crush cans' attached to them which are designed to crumple and absorb impacts, removing these is as good as suicide if you ever have a crash, and as said your insurance would be completely voided.  :sad:
I work in a car factory and build car bodies, so I know about the structural integrity of them.  :happy2:

Yes thats the one, it was removed to "save Weight"and to modify to fit an R32 rear with exhaust/bumper setup.
