Personally I'd stick with the small ones and get a GTi chin spoiler- once lowered on some decent wheels it really looks the business!  Having had both I still prefer the early Mk2 look.....

indicators are bigger, you'll have to get big bumper indicators and cut the wiring into where the small ones went, or cut them into a small indicator connector, cos post 90 connections are different. it's only two wee cables each side, so nae hassle really!

Also the front arch trims on standard big bumper cars have a section at the front i'm thinking?  I have pattern big bumpers, fit isnt great.
