just put small bumpers on my mk2 ... because i couldnt be bothered to get the black big bumpers sprayed, and now a pair of red big bumpers comes up for sale ... what do i do? keep the smalls or buy the big bumpers?
I love the look of both of them :undecided:
-
if you love the look of both, save the pennies and keep the smalls. spend the pennies of something else for the car, like crystal lights or indicators etc...

have crystal headlights etc ... the car is pretty much finished, just cant decide what bumpers to go for :undecided:

smalls. save money and resist the urge which all mk2 owners have to horde parts for their car... just lately i cant help myself or stop myself from buying bits for it. got enough stuff in my garage waiting to be fitted to keep me busy for 6 months!
-
Have both if you have the room to keep a spare set. Change as and when you want to!

I'm starting to horde stuff together at the moment. The garage is starting to get filled :D

i think it looks better with the smalls
As for the comments about hoarding parts, i know that feeling to well, i have a collection of bits building up inside the car, around the car and in my spare room. I should really stop posting on forums and put some bits on it!!

I would have to say that the bigs go with your car more! But it is your car!!

I think with twin lamps small bumper looks great, your car looks really nice mate!
PS: if you were too sell the big bumpers, how much would you part with them for?

Definately smalls... Only go big when you've got 90spec bits!!

Nowt wrong with big bumpers/quad lamps! :huh:

Keep the small, going from your sig it has now turned into a nice car rather than the mess that it was before :lipsrsealed: Imo, if you go big you have to also go for the thing side strips and arches so that it all lines up properly.
Also, you've got the gti will the full 90spec kit on :wink:
-
I like big bumpers but yours looks great now, so I would leave it.
If you still can't decide, how about go back to whatever it had coming off the production line.

ohhh screw that then :laugh:
how is your project car comming along mate? :smiley:
really liking the look of ur red GTi ... makes me want to smack my grille like that on :drool:
-
I may well be wrong here, but from what i've seen the people that say small bumpers tend to have cars that were small bumpered from the factory. I'd say it's more an opinion of keep it original than "scene" :wink:
That said, it's looking a lot better than it did with the last set of big bumpers on :smiley:
-
Cheers Mew :D
not spending anymore on her now, have to concentrate on the gti :evil:
-

...it's not, I can never find time/have the will to do anything to it, plus i refuse to spend more money replacing the battery than I spent buying the whole car! Roll on Spring, warmer weather and better cash flow!

Nah, overall I prefer big bumpers, but I agree with Mew - Keep them dubs orignal!
