Big bumpers for me.  It's a matter of taste, classic vs. modern.

I like Big Bumpers but i also like the "clean" look, i.e all the plastic trim off - arches and side mouldings etc, small bumpers and slammed!

This is a tricky one...I love the big bumpers but just of late I've been picturing my valver with the small bumpers on it... :rolleyes:

I guess I'll find out what I prefer when I get round to the respray...if I opt for small and don't like em I've already got the big bumper kit to put back on!!  :undecided:
08.03.10 - 3, maybe 4 weeks, and I want my golf back on the road!

our bumpers have to come off soon to fit the proper slider brackets maybe I'll fit the smalls back on before drilling for the final decesion  :undecided:
I do know the front valance is a bit rusty as it can be seen through the big bumper  :laugh: maybe I should spray our spare valance satin black to match the grill strip and see how that look's  :grin:

i'd say as you've got the whole '90 spec kit you might as well keep the big bumpers, unless you fancy changing the arches, sills etc. also depends on the look your going for. if you want old school, euro style with massive drop and cool wheels go small bumpers. if you want to keep it at a reasonable ride height of 40mm drop and not so rare/old school rimns i'd say leave the big bumpers on.

If i had a white mk2 id do what Joe said above, euro all the way.

Big drop, small euro bumpers(with the chrome bits in) cool wheels etc.

If in doubt tho, tru www.dubmodder.co.uk and have a play for yourself!

thats the best mk3 ive seen..ever! its just clean and subtle.. :cool:
