Driving Without Front Bumper?

[Johnney_aussie]

My car is gonna bust out of compliance tomorrow the front bumper is way too low and cracked i have a stock replacement being sprayed should be finished mid next week, I dont really want to stroll around with the crack ugly bumper so is it legal to drive without it ? Ive seen people do this before but i want to know if its alright and cops wont give you shit about it.

youll get defected for having no front bar. just drive with your cruddy cracked one.

[bezender]

might be ok.... but i'd err on the side of caution, and just put it on. dont want to attract too much attention to ur car these days

[Johnney_aussie]

Cheers yeah i was just wondering, Thanks guys.

Yeah, having no bar is a bigger reason for a defect than a damaged bar. Leave it on.

Yeah it does, I can see the damage and on the right side there a big crack by the near the tyre and the whole bar is pretty flimsy.

The fashion police will defect you for the fake race fuel fillers, too Nath

True. They'll argue: no fixed location for the plate, sharp edges exposed, etc etc, and if you've hacked your reo bar for a fmic you'll be in strife.

[DSTROY]

I wouldn't recommend it, but i did it when fitting my cooler a few years back, i just zip tie'd the number plate to the reo bar.

I was without front bar for 2 weeks and no cop pulled me over... I wouldnt recommend you doing it though

no front bar = defect

[foney]

i got around for 2 weeks with no front bar, untill it was repaired and replaced, passed cops on the road had no problems,

Got the new front bar on and still havent put the front number plate on and its almost been 2 months now..

If u can cover your arse well enough ull get off. I always push my luck tho. untill they pull me up ill leave it. looks better without it.

And if they do and ask where it is ill say. just picked my car up from the painters and here is the plate. ta dar... and the braket... on my way home to install it now constable :-)

Just depends on where ya live as well too i guess

[foney]

yea just on that, ive never heard or seen anyone been book before for not having a front bar, there are even alot getting around town at the moment,

i think it must be that time of year that most skyline owners around here are getting front bars fixed or replaced lol

[Krishy]

dont do it mate

its not worth taking the risk

just drive with caution with your cracked front bar

the equation is:

cracked from bar = good chance of not being defected

no front bar = asking for a defect

[foney]

yea if its to and from work in the mornings and arvo then u should be rite. doing laps and cruises i would not reccommend..

Cops arnt all that bad u know.
