system6 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Hi , Your views please on the removal of the rear bumper on a mk 3 gt6 ....... 1...Is it legal ?, 2...Does the look enhance the appearance of the back end ? , Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyb Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 It's not illegal if you remove the brackets and have some sort of numberplate light.Personally I think only the MK1 & 2 look good without the bumpers. Mk3 looks better with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrendanD Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I agree with Danny. The little bumpers on the Mk 1 and 2 are a bit cluttered but the Mk3 has cleaner lines with the bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegt6 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 As long as number plate is lit, as above, i believe to be ok...All down to personal taste i guess - i am still deciding if to go without the front bumper too on my mk3I will try to post a pic of mine without rear bumper when get home - mine is white and gone for no bumper at rear...where the bolt holes are on side and rear, I intend to do 'fill' with stainless button heads (with rubber washers).....then i can still fit later if so wish (or sell......did i just type that lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
system6 Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 Stevegt I'm very interested if you could possibly post a few photo's of the rear end ,....I'm thinking of buying a mk3 i don't like the look at the back end , may be this will change my mind....... i've been concentrating my search un till now on a mk1 or mark 2 but these are a lot harder to find and little bit more expensive .

Sheepy Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 As they say each to there own. But I personally prefer the de-bumpered look. Makes them look cleaner I think. (sorry not much help I suppose) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Elsie Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I reckon with is better although get them re chromed is a tad pricey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheepy Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 That looks clean Steve, I think it needs the light panel painting black to set it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegt6 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Have thought about that Shaun - all the edging trim is going to be either satin or matt black though - can be done once all done if go down that road... Got to sort led lighting for reg plate on rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rotoflex Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 As for the little hole that the license plate wires came through: you can mount a laser beam there totake care of the people who follow you with their lights on bright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
system6 Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Thanks for the photo's stevegt ,( any more ?) ,.....I think i could live with that .....maybe i've found the answer to owning a gt6 now , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegt6 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 In the beginning, i thought about de-seaming the rear tail and wings - but would have been quite costly to be done properly.There will be some more pics when i sort out:i) how to get them small enough in file sizeii) how to post multiple pics in one post - get a big fat 'zero results' on forum search for adding photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timireson Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Setup a photobucket account and the. Paste the IMg link and then can put lots of pics then. No worries about size then. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
