John, Those rear bumperettes are very subtle and fit well with the lines of the car. Considering James' recent experience with being rear-ended by another driver, he'd be foolish to leave what little protection they afford off his car. And I know he's not foolish. His recent purchase proves it. ;-) Excellent taste, young man, excellent taste!
As for me, I was never more happy that I had those little bumpers than the time an errant woman packed out of her parking space at the grocery store and smacked into the back of my Spitfire with her minivan. I happened to be sitting in the car at the time... Amazingly, the bumper protected the rear corner as designed. The plastic lenses weren't even cracked. That sold me.

Just a small point and that is the rear bumpers. After looking at the rear of yours, I am very seriously considering leaving mine off. Do you not think that the Spit has some good curved lines at the rear ? Also it looks a little less cluttered at the back. Hmmmm. Anyway James have fun, lots of it.................... ps Ann says to call your new 'baby' Miss Poppy (cos of the colour) Happy Spitting..................John (In the UK) /// [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list /// Send admin requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool /// Archives at http://www.team.net/archive /// Send list postings to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// Edit your replies!
