Right im having a bit of a think about my front bumper
some idiot decided to give my car a little scrape on the front bumper while i was out shopping :cry:
its taken an area about the size of a 2p right down to the plastic :cry:
but the car is def goin to bodyshop about april for other bits to be done so its gonna get fixed!
what do u reckon to smoothing the 8v bumper, leaving it standard or a 16v bumper?
sorry for long post just wanted some feedback on ideas

16v's all the way...and defo get part of it smoothed,

i'm sure people can post up pic's of all the different options, for example i've just lost the number plate recess. well worth doing tho, your love it once its done just because you know its not stock

the only thing is about the 16v is its not a 16v but its def an option
ive seen the ones on ebay but not sure about the grills and everything that it will require
i havent seen an 8v bumper smoothed before but il try and get some pics up so people can work their photoshop magic!

Go for the 16v bumpers. Dont worry, its not like sticking a GTI badge on it. But yeh go for the 16v's. but thats just me.....i hate the 8v bumpers.

Only one iv liked with 8v bumpers is a boy off here. Red one, on cups.
