After the MBCA show I decided to put on the original 6.9 bumpers.

Comparing the 450's bumper (on the car) to the 6.9's on the ground.

And... installed!

The front bumper was relatively straightforward. The rear bumper, however, was a bit more work.

The chrome strip from the 6.9's rear bumper had seen better days, so I had to disassemble the entire

450 bumper and the 6.9's in order to swap the chrome trim. Everything had to come apart in order

for this to happen.

...a good time to really clean the bodywork with the rear bumper removed.
