I would have to agree. This is really ingenious. As to the legality, I would definitely check on the Q&A, they are the final authority on questions like this.
I've seen teams' bumper covers come completely off during a match and not get penalized. Probably not a good thing but that's what happens.

I'm asking for a mod to lock this; the question is now answered and 4 years old.

Re: pic: Bumper idea - legal?

We've been doing this with our bumpers for a couple of years now. No one has ever challeneged them. In fact, we won a judges award at one of our competitions due in part to the bumpers.

The big advantages are 1) only one set of bumpers to keep track of, pack and transport, and 2) quick and easy color change.
