Does anyone take their front bumper off and replace it with the old standard one ??

Im thinking off taking mine of for the winter so it doesn't get all scratched & ruined in the rain, ice, snow, and whatever else we get !!

Ohhh and its much faster with that one on aswell

Alloys are OK in the winter, just clean them all the time !

Bumpers are a different story

I no longer go out in the rain if i vcan help it , as i hate going round corners/roundabouts backwards ,

so rain, sonw, hail and ice are a no go situation, gonna get a cheap runnaround and rebuild the rex over the winter.

Personally i dont bother takin bits off for the winter, and buying a run around usually costs more,
I just make sure i wash the car thouroughly underneath and wheels in particular, to get rid of any salt/grit

Bonnet is covered in stonechips, cracking, and im getting some lourves punched in
Scuttle is like the peak district (i.e up and down (Sinking)) so im getting a new one
Front bumper is covered in stonechips. Shows very badly on dark paint.
