16v bumpers

[James Clio 16v]

Can I remove the bump strips on the 16v bumpers or are they part of the construction.

Thanks

James

Theyre part of the bumper.

Do you reckon I could cut away the bumpstrips so that they are nearly flush with the rest of the bumper and fill the gap with filler?

Or do I risk making the bumper too weak.

Thanks

I want to know this as well

cant see why that wouldnt work, best bet is to get hold of a 2nd hand bumper and give it a try on that first. personally i think it would be a lot of hassle but worth a try if thats what you wanna do.

I think Ill give it a go.

Im going to remove the side strips and I think that this would top it off.

how ru guna spray them can you do that on your own or ru getting it done proffesionaly?

Ill get them done professionally as I want to de-lock the doors, remove the side rubbing strips and generally clean up the exterior as some little bstard keyed the side of the car 4 times!
