And who wants to be fixing it everytime you get a knock at least with Plastic it will take a knock But whoever paid £234 for a fibreglass replica bumper is a complete tool id rather have paid an extra 100 and got gen

Well thats simply not true mate i have seen some horrendous Fibreglass ones that even with paint should be burned!!! all depends on the quality of the rep mate simple!! Gen FTW
Title: Re: WOT a bargin!!!
Post by: cullygti on 12 April 2012, 21:49
gen doesnt always fit better either take a look at danz on uk mk-ivs he went from abs rep to gen and said himself that the rep was a lot better fit and as said some of the reps do look quite square as opposed to others

Post by: damien010685 on 12 April 2012, 21:52
O i know some are a nightmare i looked in to it but theres far to many folk up this way with R32 kits so i did not bother in the end it all comes down to the kit but i know gen has its problems lik anything though with a good bit of tweeking it will fit!!  :laugh:

Title: Re: WOT a bargin!!!
Post by: ALBEEEEY on 13 April 2012, 12:30
So if I could get the full kit already painted to the colour of my car pretty cheap, it's worth it even though it's made of sh!t fibreglass?

I know you were mate. I just don't get the general slating of fibreglass as a material. If it's so bad why have I just made a load of bits for a submarine out of it  :laugh:

the only thing that makes it crap is if you make everything out of chopped strand (which most companies do) and you have clueless morons making it. Everyone thinks they can laminate...
