Title: Should I go for body coloured bumpers or not?
Post by: les.tansey on 22 March 2011, 01:41

I'm sort of in two minds about going for body coloured bumpers, because plastic ones always need back to black and its a pain in the ar$e but it does look quite smart as it is i think, but then if I got body coloured ones it would look pretty smart to and they would look better with the smoked gti lights than placy ones... what do you guys think?

Any other mod suggestions would be cool to if you have any...

so far im thinking: coilies, new stainless steel backbox, smoked rear gti lights and body-coloured bumpers...

Cheers, Les.

Why don't you get spare bumpers that are colour coded then you can choose between the two  :wink:

There's a rear on eGay at the moment but it has a few scratches so you'd probably be better off putting the money on getting your current bumpers sprayed anyhow.

It might be worth asking this guy if he has the bumpers as he's recently broke the entire car.
