Big bumpers vs. small bumpers

[JWS Mk3]

Just wondering out of curiosity which people like better? I say big. But the small ones are starting to grow on me.

i did go through a phase of liking big bumpers, but im sticking with the small ones

[Neaty]

big bumpers with out any hesitation. If you want small bumpers...get a mark 1

[sesterfield]

depends on the colour for me! 

[Neaty]

they work better with darker colours (small bumpers)

[sesterfield]

they work better with darker colours (small bumpers)

generally I agree, however there are exceptions; for example helios blue looks best to me with smalls and royal blue with big 

[Neaty]

yea i can see that! 

i prefer big, but if the car is dark and has small bumper then thats ok, but would prefer it with big bumpers.

I dont agree with cars that should have small bumpers, having big ones. Like a D reg GTI fitted with big bumpers. i just dont think its right! bizarely!

My first Golf was a small bumper and the one I have now is a big bumper but I prefer the small bumper model as there are fewer of them because so many people have swapped small for big bumpers on early MK2's

 i think small bumpers look cool and not a lot of people have them as they have gone to big bumpers but i think big bumpers look better!!

[Haribo!]

depends what look your going for really,i think big bumpers look meaner and i prefer them, but my mate has a really old skool looking mk2 with a custom exhaust running down the side and all smoothed out etc, and his would look stupid with big bumpers. but mines like big and bulky and mean just the way i like em, never been into smoothing things, i like my door handles and number plate recess etc...
