I have just took the rear bumper off my tech 1 because of some rust issues in the battery tray area ,anyway it was a bit of chew to get off then when it came off i realised there was actually quite a bit less of it than they should be

so my question is will a normal chromie bumper fit with my tech1 bumper kit also how do i remove the plastic there is about 10 very rusted little bolts i get the feeling i need to remove all these but i really dont want to have to ,also the tow eye is dead

the bit of the chassis leg that is above it (it kind of hangs down on some other metal that was rotten ) is good but the car is going to be a drag race car but needs to be road legal too so in the interest of weight saving do i legally need the towing eye bit , i know new cars dont but they have the screw in ability to have one ,also is there any lighter options for the rear bumper than a chrome one i dont like chrome so suppose i will also have to paint it ?

cheers for any help sorry if they seem stupid questions i couldnt find anything on the tech 1 rear bumper area on the wiki
