I saw this mini on the arches directory topic and my face just lit up!



This is my mini at the moment, not a great picture of the front end.



This is the mini from the Arches directory.

I am getting the arches, no questions asked!! I fell in love with them as soon as i saw them, but do i de-bumper it?

Few questions...

Is it a tough job to de-bumper a mini?

If i de-bumper it, is it possible to re-bumper it if i dont like it or change my mind?

My car was de-bumpered when I got it, and I added right angle brackets to bolt one back on. Check my thread (in signature) to see what it looked like before and after.
