Agreed.

I phoned up a chrome plating company located in the shadow of Wembley Stadium.

He asked me what bumpers I had.

I told him a 105E and a MkI Cortina.

He said "So you have a Lotus Europa then".

I paid to have mine removed and the bumper looks great. However, now after making the decision to leave the offset license & lamps realize it was a mistake. An easily repaired mistake tho, I have a spare original rear bumper. I never realized the rear bumper was actually a front bumper prior to learning from you fellows. Thanks.

BobW:
Yeah, I still have the little rubber fill buttons on the rear bumper. I've grown used to them  8). If I remember, the Cortina front bumper is upside-down on the rear of the Europa. Or is the inverted one the Anglia bumper?

lotusfanatic:
The Anglia 105E front bumper is used the same way up on the front of the Europa.
I have always thought that it looks very neat where the bumper blends into the intake shape below it :)
