That's what I'm talking about, brother! I think the round turn signals look best in that position.

I performed a "bumperectomy" on my 1977. A vendor here on the MG Experience made me fiberglass fender extensions to fill the flat bits under the tail lamps. I elected to leave them as a removable, replaceable body panels should I manage to damage one instead of smoothing them into the bodywork. But you could certainly do that. I welded up the signal aperatures in my factory fenders and left them smooth. sliced off the frame horns at the front and used them as mounting points for miniature dual-filament motorcycle turn signals. They have flat black housings and smoked lenses, so the are invisible until they're lit. I dealt with the bumper mounts on the tail by beating them below grade with a hammer, then filling with plastic. If you are interested to see how I did my conversion, I have a complete photo anthology from beginning to end, and will be happy to answer any questions you might have about how I solved certain problems.

Here are a couple more photos of the body work. My car was in really dismal condition when I started, with a lot of issues besides just the bodywork. I elected to take the "nuclear option" and do everything. At once.

Yes that is exactly what I did. My pictures are on my laptop send e mail address and I will send a couple. I am also thinking of using split bumper in the front.to match the back. That will take a little more doing, but may do it if I can't a narrow full width bumper. Good luck.
