I realize that I'm a newbie here, but I just thought I'd share this
observation.
I see so many references to "Ugly Black Bumpers" on '79 & '80 Spits and it
struck me as sort of odd, in as much as I specificly looked for an '80
*because* it had no chrome. To me the black bumpers make the car look sleeker
and more modern. I seem to be in a minority, perhaps unique. Does anybody else
*like* the black ones?
I have to say that the first car I bought for myself was an '80 Spitfire that I
got in late '81, and perhaps that bit of nostalga sways my sentiments.
BTW, I just got done spraying Bumper Black on my "new" Spit this morning.
