tubular bumper

Whats your views on rear tubular bumpers, I just brought one reli cheap and i'm not sure on the look.

Hav'nt fitted it yet has anybody got any pic's?

yes thanks - a few pics of mine are on here - or wait till Sunday?

I dislike 'em. Had a Guardian on the front but took it off and replaced it with standard ... it was also a poor fit and failed right when I needed it to work!

Mounting holes too big, when jacked up they slipped, even though they'd ben packed out, and the A-frame part dented the front of the bonnet!

yeah but i wanna stick it on for sunday lol, might look strange as a dont have the front one yet. but i thought if i got a front one then i would have to get back one so it does not look odd. It was only cheep £40 brand new! some chap in coventry makes them seen the add on here.

I've got on off that chap from coventry. Its ok thats bout it it fits well tho and if you remove your tow bar you get loadsa clearance on the rear.If used it to tow others out by putting a strap round it and the chassis and had no probs.For £40 you carnt realy go wrong

Thats what i thought, i need to keep the tow bar as a tow my dads sports car but it will match the front. Did you get a front bumper?

Only other promlem was as i was loading my Volvo somone came around the corner and smashed into the car! forcing me to jump out of the way and now i've been signed off work for 7days! the bloke admited liablty and my car is gone but at least i have a hire car.

Ive got a front winch bumper so i didint need the front one how ever he also makes rock sliders etc.

ah right i didnt know he made them didnt see any about i might have to give him a call.

I would take a pic of the back of mine and post it but the **** wont start again (bloody starter ):doh: and its backed up against a wall

ere yar

cheers looks ok i'm going to get some cheq plate for the gap between back car and bumper

muddy j bumpers quality where it counts at a price you can afford you cant go wrong

Hows this work for an insurance point of view? Guess you have to declare them as mods?

also bought from muddy j and survived a good few bangs and scrapes on the abingdon off road course over the weekend so highly reccommended here, and to be honest compared to some the prices are a real bargain,:5bhurray:

How does it fare for the MoT? Any hassles with damgerous projections, or all okay? I'm looking at making a tubular front bumper but I'll keep the rear one standard.

aslong as there are no sharp edges it will pass (within reason)

I think they look SHIIIIIIIITE!!!:5bpuke:

I know what you mean. I've had a look around at a few other suggestions and one which appeals is to cut down the corner pieces and remove the valence/spoiler. This looks much neater, much less prone to damage and improves the approach angle greatly.

Sorry have to agree with Garth they look fooooooking awfull

This one ain't too bad (see pic 3), looks better than the front only bumper's, shame about the price though
