Chrome bumper or not?

[Thin Lizzy]

So I hammered down the vertical lips on front edge my 73 bumper support, so it's like a 71-72. Then put primer and hammerite on and set about fitting it. With a bit of persuasion it went on. So it's all done .

I also removed the none original headlamp shrouds and refitted the grille.

Looking good. But I must say that yours was one of the few cars the 73 bumper didn't look bad.

Then the chrome bunper really looked great because it was a great contrast to the dark paint.

I can't help you, I like them all.

If I would do it again I would change to the `71 grill without lights.

I agree with Mike, your car looks good no matter what!

Thanks chaps, looking back, the 73 bumper didn't fit properly and the old grille was badly broken. I think the car is back to how it left the factory, minus the hood and magnums. So I'm happy.

If I would do it again I would change to the `71 grill without lights.

Hi Claus,

The car had the Décor Group fitted so it came with the Mach 1 grille originally. So that's how I'll keep it.
