it is not legal in any state * australian design rules *

Yeah im told its not legal, as is not displaying front number plate, but they always get pink slips...maybe insurance will be affected if i have an accident

Judy's 61 beetle doesnt have a rear bar and the pink slip guy said if you shorten the tail pipes he will pass it, something about sharp objects on which people can hurt themselves...

I was told that a front bar is prefered for pedestrian safety, however I think getting run down by a lowered beetle is gunna hurt reguardless of bumper or not...

sharp objects on which people can hurt themselves...

Yeah, tailpipes sticking out too far and people trip on them...so mys suggestion is shorten the tail pipes, they do stick out a long way without a bumper

so i guess i need them then....

You are supposed to have a b/bar on the rear in NSW.
Tailpipes stick out either standard or bigger ones & that
is dangerous they say. (its like not having a cage on a Baja motor)
Was told to put one on this year or he won't pass me next time.

Craig,
Got some bars here if you need some.

Was told if it's fitted with them as standard they have to be fitted for rego.

richard you have a u2u....:thumb

Craig, Check your U2U.

I have no bumper bar on the front of the baja - is been through a couple of times ok. Nothing said. Hopefully will have a small nudge bar this time though to mount a couple of spots.
