Bumper Bar
coozer - 6/9/07 at 03:17 PM

Anyone used a bumper bar to protect pedestrians from harm during a collision?

I was thinking of bending some 15 mm copper in two loops, coming down along the bottom of the nose cone. Attached under the nose cone by the number plate bracket and the indicator holes in the side of the nose.

Any pics??

in a pedestrian impact the copper will bend, and most likely force the pedestrian to do a looped fall landing on in in the path of the rear wheel, I' wouldn't bother the cars are Pedestrian friendly anyway. only advantage is for the SVA tests really

wouldn't it be easier to just put a sticker on the nosecone saying "get out of my way"

It's the road! If you hit them, it's probably their fault (unless they're young!).

Unless you drive on the pavement
