Title: Lucas 488's and american spec bumpers.. Post by: smurf67 on November 29, 2010, 11:48:49 am Just wanted to know peoples views on American spec bumpers with the use of Lucas 488 indicators has it been done successfully before pics would be useful thanks in advance
Alex Title: Re: Lucas 488's and american spec bumpers.. Post by: Fastbrit on November 29, 2010, 12:18:52 pm To be honest, the reason for installing Lucas turn signals was to declutter the car. This is very much at odds with the concept of running US-spec bumpers, with their cumbersome 'towel-rails'. One or the other – not both. And preferably not the bumpers… IMHO, of course. ;)

Post by: smurf67 on November 29, 2010, 12:35:36 pm Thanks Keith, were my initial thought, just having got a fender bender in the last week bumpers seem so much more appealing on the bug. Think you have a point though T bars may be the way forward. Cheers Alex

Post by: Brother Lovedub on November 29, 2010, 20:15:26 pm Something a bit different on mine - the bumper is only fitted for UK MOT purposes, however there's a problem there as can be seen in this photo - depending on the placement of the Lucas they can be obscured by the over-riders and you're looking at an MOT fail - fortunately I'm friendly with the MOT man ;)
