Removing rubber bumper in favour of Sebring style

[Daniel Watkin]

Hi all,

Considering my first classic investment. I am looking round at MGB's, and a particularly nice (in budget) 79 roadster has appeared local to my area with rubber bumpers. I would ideally like a car with a sebring style front end (skipping the wide arches, as I have a look in mind). I would much rather take the front end off an RB car, rather than removing a set of chrome bumpers for my project, this is to both keep cost down, and preserve a car with chrome bumpers.

So my question is, what options do I have available to remove the front bumper off a RB car and install a Sebring valance? I see Moss Europe supplies a fibreglass valance, but not sure on the fit of these. Some say it its a straight fit, some say otherwise. Personally I have never needed to not fettle with fibreglass panels to make them fit. Has anyone here tried this themselves and can offer some advice? I basically need to know whether it is a task that could be undertaken by a relative amateur with the correct tools.

I understand the desire to keep things original, and I endeavour to do this, however for this particular project I have a style in mind that heavily favours a Sebring style valance.

Thanks for reading
Dan
