Post by: townerboy on 24 August 2010, 09:27

If its the same kit as mine you can only use standard bumpers but they can be painted which is what i intend to do with mine as i have never been happy the bumpers dont match the kit..... try and get a new bumper or a nice condition second hand one.. i just bought a brand new one off fleabay for £8.50... A few places still sell new (pattern) ones

personally i prefer the bumpers black, colour coded bumpers is too much with a BBS kit imo

Agree with RJ.. the only reason i'l be painting mine is because th car is black.. any other colour is too much... best pic i could find, ignor the dents...

no but i dont think i'd want to run without a bumper as i think it helped things when i was in a smash... big valances without bumpers help square up the font compared to those that have nothing.

NICE!!!

I really like the look of the bumperless mk1's but agree that running into something would be a problem, that said it's a problem with a bumper on too!  :grin:

I went to the AGM for a different site the other month and there were many bumperless mk1's, just think they look a little meaner?! certainally not practical but meaner. To put this into context though I have both a cabby and a campaign and both have their bumpers

Kudos for the piccies by the way guys!
