DrivingTheDream Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I dont think I'm going to bother with a big aftermarket front bumper now. Its just to much hassle at times. I said said after my last car I would never do it again as I was always petrified about cracking it. I couldnt get over speed bumps or some dips in the road it would even scrape on, couldnt MOT it as it wouldnt get on the rollers. Lastly there's the bloody stone chips. More hassle than its worth I reckon-I'm getting too old I hated having to not venture on routes I didnt know in fear of destroying it. So whats ppl's opinions on this? Anyone got one on a black car? Pics please! I like it, very understated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the bottom add on one from Whifbitz that I posted up. Not sure on Greddy one looks a little too much stuck on IMO. Also look lower and lower leads to accidents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrivingTheDream Posted May 25, 2006 Author Share Posted May 25, 2006 It's ok, cheap enough. About a ton I believe? Up to a tenner on eBay at the mo lol! A small part like this cant be that bad a fit from a copy either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 ugly Are you crazy! It looks very nice, subtle. The standard bumper is far better than most of these aftermarket ones I've seen, this splitter complements it nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
