Smooth 8v bumper without a question! Best bumper you can get for the 6N

I've got an RS bumper on mine at moment (mate needed my 8v as he is putting it back to standard to sell it and he's done me so many favours I had to swap) but I want a 16v one I think...

This poll will help me decide :)

16V FTW, however (imo) it only works smoothed when the car is running a euro theme. If you're going OEM for now like me, 16v just looks so much better than 8V.

I reckon the 8v is more suitable for a smooth euro look. It's smaller and cleaner. The 16v is a little agressive IMO.

And that RS2 thing is awful.

the 16v has been over done three times over dude, stick with the 8v and represent!...... there is a r32 bumper u can get for the polo that you would probs like and i agree with tim, not a fan of the rs2[/code]

RS bumpers the one you had on the chavmobile right?

Valver bumpers too common now so smooth up the 8v bumper and stay on the lookout for a set of fogs. Trust me looks stunning.

Here's some pics for inspiration. tony off edition is one of the very few that has repped the 8v and made it stand out 8)

I really don't see what the fuss is over 16v bumpers, they do look good but nothing compared to a smoothed 8v!

Go with the rs2, do something different!!you could always modify and smooth bits off to make it even more unique.plus you already have one (i did read that right?), so it would be cheaper.
