Whadya think mark II

In an effort to make my car look a bit different found something today at the bottom of the garage that fitted the bill.
Ta dada da da daaa ladies and gents may I present the table leg bumper, number plate lights are hidden in the tubing. I like it what do you think.
Watch out for my next innovation gas fired overalls and yes I know I need to get out more.












Cheers,
Bob

are you going to put one on the front and sides as well, might make it look a bit like a bumper car

Not really for me either, maybe if you made it a bit shorter it might look better.

Very retro hot rod-ish. Id be impressed if the two squares in the rear where the number plate is planned was the new exhaust.....

Speaking of which, has anyone tried a square exhaust for under the car?

don't like it either as it is.

I would have it as wide as the rear panel, lower and further under the car.

But as everyone else said, If you like it go for it.

I think one of those orange scooter flags you see the oldsters' flying would be more effective, but I'm happy if you're happy!!

Not the nicest IMO of course.

Be carefull of it may turn into one of those cars you see at a show when your wandering about the ourside stands and almost everyone that walks past will point at it and you will lip read from a distance them all saying

'what the hell is that' whilst pointing at it.

Again all IMO!

I like your thinking and I think there's something almost there but it's not quite right.
There again if you're happy with it then that's the important thing. If others think differently leave them to it!

Looks like a resounding no then. It was only summat to do but it does look better in the flesh than the pics.
If I see loads of guys pointing at it and laughing their taters of at shows then I'll take the table off of the bricks and put the legs back on Lol.
Cheers,
Bob
