Re: bumpers

Not the worst ive seen, but not something i would buy. I think the Merkur bodykit is nicer.

Re: bumpers

I think the front looks really good, not a big fan of the back tho.

Re: bumpers

Get another standard back bumper, your looks very nice and subtle, don't ruin it with that fibregalss abortion of a bodykit.

Re: bumpers

the thing with the murker kits is they are all attachments to the standard bumper so i would still have to get the standard to put them on.

Re: bumpers

Personally i would stick to the standard one and maybe add a splitter or something. The thing you have to remember with bodykits is one minute you think they are the dogs b*llocks and then the next you think they are just b*llocks. Fashions change so quick that something as extreme as that can date so quickly. Your choice though obviously so just do what you want, dont be put off by others if its what you like. Everyone should be different and you might regret not doing it one day.

Exactly that, bodykits were all the rage 5 years ago but now it is the more subtle and "euro" styling

Re: bumpers

Looks crap/toss/****e

Just think for the money you would spend on buying, fitting and spraying a bodykit like that, you could probably have your sporting running around 200bhp for the same cash.

Re: bumpers

Think they are a bit OTT. Go for something a little different but more understated.

Re: bumpers

they are a bit over the top but the thing is if you want your car to stand out from a crowd then go for it. Personally i prefer more subtle changes that add/improve upon the good looks that the car already possess, but i dont think that those do that.
