Really? I'm unaware of the differences in the UK model, but the US
model has a 3/8" thick shaped steel bumper on the front and back, none
of that "cover it over with a piece of flimsy plastic cosmetic bumper
crap that cracks and caves in if you look at a car bumper the wrong
way" it also has a 5/8" thick skid plate underneath - very important
so as not to damage the undercarriage when going over another vehicle ;-)
Here is a pic from VCF East 4.0 in the parking lot outside of
Infoage... I nudged up to about 1/4 of an inch to Evan's car for the
picture.

PS: my comment was mostly about the relative values of a VAX, a Miata
and a Hummer. I don't own a Miata or a Hummer, but I have multiple
VAXen....
Hideously off-topic, but you are aware that you pretty much can't
insure a Hummer in the UK, because it fails just about every safety
test out there? One vehicle inspector I spoke to said that if you saw
one stopped at traffic lights and kicked the front bumper *really*
hard, you'd probably kill all the occupants.
Just sayin'...
(Maybe you could fit a Miata engine to your VAX)
