Title: Stupid Look?
Post by: jonesltd on 25 May 2009, 15:15
Would it look stupid if I just had an R32 front bumper on the front and poss side skirts but left the back bumper normal 2002 TDI one and lowered it with baby 17 rs6's?

I know but at the mo I cant afford the r line r32 rear bumper, hence I thought just front and side skirts and lowered?

I don't like the R32 bumper on anything but a R32. However the R-Line bumper...

well either save up and do it properly or don't do it at all and save for a decent car instead.

if you're going to keep the OEM rear, then you'll really need to get the rear valance colour coded too IMO

the rear valance is the same on all MK4s apart from the anniversary, V6 and R32

the only issue you'll have is that the standard valance wont sit as low as the lines of the skirts, but it's not that much of a difference to cause an issue.
