I've never seen a C2 without the front bumpers that didn't look like something was missing that took away from the shape. Not cool to me.

My car was modified in the 70's with flared fenders + the billet grill. My rear tires are really big....wish they didn't stick out as much but I love the traction more .LOL.

considering original 775 x 15 tires had 4 1/2" tread, anything would be better. I have 255 60s on the rear of mine and they are 9" of tread.

I think the front bumpers look tacked on.
