I dont think its a problem to have it on big bumpers if it has all the original side strips, arches and sills to match, bigs with small bumper trims is a pet hate of mine.  But then again the person you sell it to may not care/know and spend extra for that beefy look  :grin:

somebody had a post like this up not long ago i think they had fitted big to a small bumper car and someone mentioned about fitting 90spec front arches as they are longer then someone put a picture up of big bumper with wrong arch and arch finished at top of splitter and it didnt look right
ive never looked before but once i saw that picture i had to check mine

Well i'm picking the car up this friday so will have another look then. I think the way forward ideally is to revert to small bumpers but then there is a bit of me that wants to get the whole 90 spec treatment as my daily is a small bumper. Decision, decisions . . .

Towed the car back today and it would appear the front bumper is held on with chewing gum!  :laugh:
So i reckon small bumpers are the way for this one.

I don't think a semi will give the same results

It needs a fair bit of time spent on it getting it upto scratch but i intend to get it back to being pretty much stock. When i get it all sorted it should be worth around £1200-£1500 i would have thought - probably going take me a few months to get it completed!
In your favourite colour red too Chris!

I'll post up some pics once i've taken some  :tongue:
