With mine which had no bumpers front or back but did have the two Brackets / Hanger's(?) For the rear bumper it would have failed.

My caravelle hasn't had a rear bumper since I got it, and has passed four MOTs like that. I keep meaning to make a tow bar from some scaffolding pole I have. I thought it was only sharp edges on the front our sides that count? You are hardly likely to reverse into a pedestrian at speed.

Time consuming perhaps but worth it :ok

In the continuing saga with Just kampers regarding the travel paint not only should I have painted the bumpers I should have removed the transit paint and preped them first.

Whatever next?

I don't know why but the two mentions of " transit " paint above becomes " trifle " when posted, is my tàblet trying to tell me something? Well artificial intelligence or not I changed the first one to travel paint to see what happens

Make that three times with this final E D I T!
