A bit bored today,going through some of my wedge hoard and found a U.S.
spec rear bumper,"that'll look kewl on the Grinnall" i mused.So 1/2
hour later i'd got it from this girly U.K.spec rear-
to this huge ass on steroids-
Whaddaya say? Godzilla meets the Terminator or what!
Just gotta purloin a U.S.bumper for the sharp end!
See ya. Paul

The bumper (.)(.) might look cool now, but wait until you knock your knees on them a couple of time. Those (.)(.)s aren't as soft as mine!
I am sure you will go back to the flat chested look.

Never had a problem walking around the US spec bumper, no knocked knees. Glasses may be in order, [:D]

Clara Anne,hows this for the 'self and hasty'conscious?
I will paint on the red and white chevrons later,lol!
Any way banging my knees on those lumps has gotta be preferable to
digging me shins on that howitzer of an exhaust!
See ya. Paul

I allways find it funny how you guys "over there" love our humped rear bumpers, yet most of us north americans like the clean smooth look of the euro parts................

US rear bumpers are a good place to rest your beer when kicking tires in the garage.

Yes, most on this side like the UK bumpers but I for one like the Dolly Partons. Adds character to what is otherwise a pretty plain bumper. Never ran into them. Do don't what you have until you don't have it.

My opinion is that when im parking by Braile i dont have to worry about breaking the plastic ones!
I too like the Man Boob Look!!!!!!
Have to agree with Clara Anne aswell though - have been heard to utter nasty words a few times after cracking my leg.Paul is also correct its a good place to put your beer/Tea whils working on the car.
Cheers
