I'm really not a fan of the rubber bumpers, the more I look at it, the more I'm beginning to hate it. I thought I would get use to liking the look, but so far its having the opposite effect, I may go as far as selling the old girl, and to look for the chrome bumper model which I originally wanted.



It all boils down to personal preference I guess.


The rubber bumpers are very heavy!!! If you are going to remove them be warned they have big lumps of rust sorry steel inside them. As I recall the front is over 100kg.
I had a Inca yellow midget from 1980 through to 2012 had to sell her as I could no longer get out of her when I reached my destination. For the last six years that I had her she only did 800 miles a year that was three shows we used to go to.
Loved her but the brakes left a lot to be desired compared to a modern car.
