its a straight forward swap back so i wont say its devalued the car, but some people might be put off slighty if you where thinking of selling.

oh and small bumpers rock!

I wouldnt say its devalued the car but i know if it were mine I'd have to put the original small bumpers on again...

I don't think it would have de-valued your car at all, and to be honest, not many people will notice the spec/year difference unless they are a VW geek from here! :lipsrsealed: :laugh:
I would not worry to much, but it's down to your prefered choice. Small or big...personal taste.

Do you have the 16v spoiler fitted with the skinny bumpers?

 Never had a problem with front end lift in my old Golf with it fitted.

But then perhaps I didn't drive it fast enough :grin:
