Here's the deal: I'm thinking of taking the old North American bumpers off of my '79 210. I know that this could be a no no to hardcore Datsun enthusiasts and to some degree i debate the thought of it as well. I'm thinking of taking off the back bumper, cleaning up the rear, keeping all the stock goodies visible but moving the license plate down and smoothing out the area where it was (I'm pretty firm on this idea). Where I start to second-guess myself is at the front bumper. I really don't like the rubber parts and if I take them off it will look like ass. So, I was throwing around the Idea of finding an older BMW or similar chrome bumper and fitting that on. Thoughts?

Track down an Aussie one and ship it over, I'm pretty sure we didn't have those overriders?

Are you after a look more like this? It's a good thing and with some BMW chrome bumpers it should turn out quite nice.
This is factory look for the JDM model sunny

Quote:Not that I've heard of -- I think it is a good idea. Would like to see how it works out.

I reckon that it would look 'pretty' good!

sorry people came up twice.

twice too many times...

and like vomit wasnt any better the second time around

Yes, A bumper like shown would be great. I'm sort of going for a sporty hot rod look, so some overriders would be great...if they were chrome. I've been looking around for some overriders I could just attach to the existing bumper. I even thought of using a karmann ghia bumper. Thanks for the pics and insight, I appreciate all of it guys!

you don't need to ask every one for there insight on every thing bud but if you insist I just had a thought it mite look good

nobody likes the USDM ugly bumper! Take it off, but you'll want a nice chrome bumper so someone doesn't bend up your car.
