MG MGF Technical - Rubber bumber valence

I've just bought a cheap '76 roadster for some summer fun (my chrome bumper project car won't be finished til next year). Question is, can I fit a spare chrome bumper valence to my rubber bumper car?. I'm guessing that some cutting may be required to accommodate bumper mounting hardware?, but would like to know for sure before I go to the trouble of removing the bumper.
Thanks,
Pete

Pete,

Just in case you look at this again.

Yes - you can convert from rubber to chrome bumper. Most of the MG shops live MGB Hive etc. do a kit, as well as the MG Owners Club.

Sorry guys....brain fade. Must be the heat

Sam, not the question. On the midget the bumper mounts come thru the valance, so you have to saw them off and not have a bumper, or saw a hole in the valance, and dammage a very expensive part.

Hi Will,

I assumed it was an mgb roadster.

My mistake.

Sorry for the confusion....had I used the correct BBS it would have been much clearer! Yes, the question did relate to an RB MGB (rather than a CB conversion). I think I have the answer I need (I should be able to cut the valance to fit). I think we can close this thread (and avoid any further embarrassment to me for accidentally filing the Q in the wrong BBS!!). Thanks for your help.

I wouldn't worry, it happens all the time, nobody ever drops round just to say Hi, always this problem or that problem!
