Default Question time...

Is it illegal to drive with no bumpers on your car?

Im colour coding my bumpers but need the car for work, will I get pulled by the fuzz for having no bumpers?

Its a Sierra Sapphire so the rear no plate is not attatched to the bumper.

its not techincally illegal, aslong as there is no sharp mounitng brackets, and would pass an mot,

but you are likely to get stopped, and they will say- have you considered what will happen if you hit some one, if you get a real knob head copper, he may try , and i do mean try, to do you or give you a producer,

but no, its not illegal
