as the title says, can you legally run T BAR bumpers (like on the drag beetles) on the street ??
Can you run 'T BAR' bumper brackets on street cars ??

One of the locals had them on His 76 beetle for many years and never had any problems..
Car was sold this year..
even left them on during Rego checks...
Although...
things are changing..
as My insurance company asked if there were anything protruding from the front of the car...
[eg- fishing rod holders] can't remember if it was Green slip or car insurance company..
I have read where You don't need bumpers on beetles
as new cars no longer have them...
but I'd rather have two bumpers than none... lol...
cheers

All new cars have bumpers. Just because they're all smooth and pretty doesn't mean it's not there underneath.
Craig - I ran T-bars on a couple of my cars and never had any issues at rego time, but I can't comment as to whether it was then, or is now, legal.

Barrys right
i ran them on my bug a couple of years ago
my old boss pink slips my bug usually so he turns a blind eye to alot of things about it but he did say that there not legal
was confirmed when a cop bagged me one night and said i need to remove them for the same reason
u can either stock bumpers or none at all but no Tbars

They knocked me back for the exhaust being exsposed not the T bars.

Yes, I know all cars do have Bumpers
but not sticking out like VW bumpers...
no protrusions
and i also expect problems for people with headlamp eyebrows
I'd hate to be hit by one...
