I want my Roofchop to be bumperless, is that ok in NSW?

It is going to be totally matt black, in and out, bomber style seats, 3" narrowed beam, 2" drop spindles adjustable beam, 4" chop all round, 145's up front 205's behind, Totally de-chromed.

I just don't want pesky bumpers to spoil the lines.....and I hate the "cal look" bumperetes stupid things❗

Any way do I need bumpers for rego?
Cheers

I think the problem is more with the T bars

Law says no dangerous protrusions

Futue te ipsum!!!

Cool, I hate the T bars anyway, my curvy front end should keep them happy😉
I'm going to shorten my tailpipes so they don't stick out as well

Thanks

I think it really depends on the examiner..

some examiners like cars to be like they left the factory, as that is how later cars need to be...

One of the locals here drove with t bars front and back for many years...

the way the law is going towards pedestrian safety in Europe and then here...

I'd rather be hit by a bumperless beetle... lol

only problem is people who park by touch/bump...

Hah, I don't think any one would dare to bump park on such a cool ride, any way mine's so low at the front by the time they bump they'll hit the windscreen!😂
