Just sharing the mods I've done to get rid of the big ugly bumpers. Bumperettes are TR3 and Austin America.

I wonder if it can be done with a facelift model. Does anyone have a pic of a bumperless facelift car? Is the sheetmetal the same underneath?

I'd imagine a 1973 XJ-S would have had XJ6/12 Series 2 bumper bars.
