Crash guards on the Nexon EV: the accessory I keep saying no to

Every accessory shop I walk into seems to have a chrome crash guard waiting for a Nexon EV, and I keep refusing it.
The boring reason first. The transport ministry told states in December 2017 to act against bull bars and crash guards under Section 52 of the Motor Vehicles Act, with ₹1,000 for a driver's first offence and more for repeats, as reported here. The ministry's stated worry was safety for pedestrians and for the people inside the car, which is enough for me. On top of that, bolting steel to the nose of an EV adds mass you then carry around on every trip.
What I actually run is unglamorous. Deep rubber mats because of our monsoon, mud flaps, and that is about it up front.
So tell me what is on your bumper, and has any RTO or insurer ever raised it with you?
