Wow, you forget how clean and balanced the lines of an early gtv are, until you see one without bumpers. I guess we just tend to get used to all the boxy clutter on the later cars, - not that they are bad looking. It's just that any of the 60s/70s Alfas look SO much better with good wheels and no bumpers.
Good one Trent.

Hey there Vin, Thanks the comments.

I did have the bumpers on but front one was slightly dented and missing rubber strip and rear too.

I do like the car without the bumpers, it has kind of grown on me and i like it.

Hey Trent,
yeah the pre 82's look awesome without the bumpers. Also i belive those superlites really suit the look. Dont forget those koni's!

Terrific example of this type andi am quite jealous.  Would make a great platform for an historica racer... Want to sell it? ;)
