Title: Big or Small
Post by: sesterfield on 22 August 2004, 20:20

Ok I've been playing with this question for a long time, and can't decide? :-\? So I'm gonna leave it to you guys :P

The Problem is that I prefer small bumpers on a whole, but white golfs look so good with big bumpers.? Another thing to consider is that I have some 90 spec arches which are going on either way (to hide various parking scrapes ;) )

I'm kinda thinking the big bumpers might make my wheels look a little small, but I guess you guys would have more experience with that than me :P

I would say small bumpers for class. but big for the beefy look

Wont 90 spec arches look odd with small bumpers? Never seen that before ???

I think you are right about the big bumpers suiting a white car, would set it off nicely with the arches too

The car looks mint, except for under the bumper, Bigbumpers will cover that up nicly  ;)

I do love the chrome-trim bumpers (I do have an unhealthy obsession with chrome ;) ) but I have reservations about how it'd look with white bodywork.  If I were to get a respray I'd definitely go small-with-chrome  ;)

Do GSF sell chrome-trim bumpers? If so I might give that a try first because it seems to me that the chrome ones are quite hard to find second-hand  ???

Chrome all the way !!  :o  ;D

I got mine off GPC (http://www.gpcvwaudi.com/) at Inters this year. Genuine VW - New - ?70 for the pair  ;D  ;D

I've got the door inserts now - just deciding on what to do with the wing mirrors  ???

I've got one of each and the Big Bumper just looks more finished and thought out.
