Hey people,
just curious as to whats the laws regarding front and rear bumpers?
i know in new zealand if its registered as a classic car alot of laws change regarding front impact ect
was wondering if its the same here?
google was fairly usless in helping me out unless there is a government site regarding this type of thing i missed?
ill probably be asking alot of questions as im unsure of pretty much everything regarding the law over here, hope u dont mind :S
thanks

Don't quote me but I think if it came out on the car from factory it should be on it as it is a safety standard (depends upon year) factory accessories and items with a complience number are also fine (bull bars/nudge bars). Nothing should protrude past these parts either. Club rego is similar with period and safety regs. To confuse you further some states have different laws.

There is no classic car rego only club rego and these cars on it must pass a pink slip and be as they came out of the factory or with period mods only. See the RTA to get more confused or even confuse them best bet is to go to a vehical engineer for full rego or see a historic rego registered club if your going to go club rego.

For answers re modifications in Queensland, ring Quidnunc Transport Modifications:    32534851.  These guys are really helpful and are also enthusiasts. However, keep your mod ideas sensible, with safety in mind and these guys are a wealth of information.
