I think they can look nice on certain cars with the side parts (plastic bits) of the bumper removed.

This for me is hard coz I love the capri without the bumper on BUT I like the front bumper on and the back 1 off but you can't drive around with half your bumpers on coz u would look simple in the head!!!..................and as 4 cameron diaz no no no my friend megan fox ;)

Drove the 3.0 around for a while with only the front bumper and it looked quite good, looks better though with both of them on if I'm honest.

Bumpers on, side trim off.
Since I got a capri I've said "over the moon" a lot more than ever before.

ON! if you insist of them being off, fill the chassis holes and bumper iron holes in so it doesnt look like the bumpers are missing.

Yes, I think so too. Seeing the holes always makes you think that you must have them somewhere but not got around to putting them back on yet.

Too true. Best option by a country mile. Then followed by mk3 bumpers, then no bumpers at all.

I’ll go as far as to say the back de-bumpered looks decent enough, but the front looks odd. But you can’t have no bumpers on the back and bumpers on the front, that’s not right.

p.s side trim should burn in hell.
