Bumperless E30s vs. The Law

Would an E30 running no bumpers be legal provided I made sure there were no pointy bits and all the indicators etc. were still present?

my old sport had no front bumper on as it was being painted. the old bill pull my wife over and was going to impound it. until i turned up with another, bolted it on and told them to fcuk off. she then drove it away

I was kinda thinking as a permanent "styling" thing as I, rightly or wrongly, quite like E30s with the bumpers removed, much like this, only without the slightly dodgy arches.

The lack of front indicators is the biggest problem. I assume it's law to have them !

Front number plate also mounts to the bumper.

Sort the indicators and number plate, remove the bumper mounts as well and all is good from an MOT point of view.

Would look shit though.
