Nice pictures. I've never seen such bumper rosettes, are they original?

I think in Paris you need them! People always bump your car even if there is a foot of space! :)

These bumpers were mounted on the car when I bought it. Unfortunatly I do not have the sufficient knowledge to say they are original. Anyway it so well integrated that it seems to be.
I strongly agree with Dwahi as in France, parking technique in the street requires most of the time wild life predator survival kit. I make very large efforts to avoid parking my car in the street, aviation parking is much safer.
When I consider the price of the front of the Pagoda, I like my small bumpers.

Not sure, but they look like the ones fitted on the Citroen DS rear bumper.
