The bar will rust around the drilled holes unless you paint them or get them rechromed. Don't do it, would be my advice.

Hold onto the overriders and sell them to someone else at a tidy profit.

Regards.
Chris

im not really keen on the epoxy idea.
i really don't want them flying off on the highway...
maybe they will have to stay in the box till i get a spare set of bumpers that i am not woried about drilling..
here are some pics

rear bumper without overiders

I say fit them and paint the holes and rust wont be a problem, You have nearly every option and accessory that is available for the 1200, when that car started out it had no heater,one sunvisor, a solid steering column, drum brakes it is now a full GX model right down to genuine GX bonnet and bootlid and factory tinted glass.
if your worried on screwing it up practice on an old bar first and get the correct measurements from the dudes in the states
but in the end it is your car.
