Of course you can remove the bumpers and replace them with posts! To preserve vehicle balance, you should also remove the shock absorbers and convert
the doors and engine lid to 'suicide' operation.
Before, you get the gas axe out, you may want to check this link:

Hey N,
I got a canary on my bug and took it over without bumpers and passed!. Mind you they might have been blinded with everything else that was illegal!

No Bumpers are OK in WA..
I read not long ago that its lgal to have no bumpers in WA...
I believe they are illegal in most other states, but there are lots of Beetles on the streets everyday with NO Bumpers attached.... there are 3
semi-locals who haven't had bumpers on for years and they are daily drivers....
I like the protection of Bumpers... it may not be much, but its better than nothing..
