Sorry if this in the wrong section, Please delete what ever one!

Is it possable to put the chrome rear bumper on the front to get rid of indicators and number plate bit? Like this one??

Doubt it very much - the front bumpers curved, the back one isn't.... you'd also need to make up brackets to match the bumper to the body - way too much hassle.

That pic is of a US version - they had deep bumpers with a crash absorbing piston behind to conform to US regs. looks nice from the front, but ***king ugly otherwise!
