Umm so being a pom and having lived here since chrissy !!!
Whats the score on runnig t-bars inplace of my bumpers here here in QLD !!
And what happens if my front plate was to go missing !!!
Just wondering what the written papers say on the issue !!!!

I think the front plate would be an issue..
But T bars would not worry them untill they wanted to get picky..

cheers for that Tazz

I'm not running bumpers at the moment as i'm not a big fan of square bumpers. I'm also on club rego so I quite often run the gauntlet. I am in the process of making t'bars at the moment.
If it's any consolation my old FX Holden (48-215) only had one plate on the rear as it had a Q plate on the rear only. Thats my arguement when I get pulled over or I'm getting my bumpers rechromed.

I ran my grey and white bug for about 2 years plus (ever since I repainted it in the rally guise) with no front plate. I always had it in my bonnet though just in case I got nabbed. My excuse was always that when I bolted it on the bumper it would scrape on speed bumps etc - although it wasn't that low. Just figured the constables would give me another chance providing I bolted it up then and there. (here was hoping).

I also had three spot lights which supposedly is not allowed (supposed to run matching pairs). Maybe I was lucky though?

I run no bumpers front or rear on my car at all. I haven't been pulled over yet(touch wood). With the plate i ran without one for about a month after i took off the front without any problems, eevn if they do pull you over, just say that ur plate got wrecked and ur waiting for a new one (only works with custom plates)

Das i think u will find that the law says the lights have to be symetrical (Spelling!!) so if u ran one in the middle you should have been ok.
