Back Bumper Help

Ok in two minds here. Reversed the Stilo into a Lampost on Friday night and needs a new bumper so am wondering whether to save up and buy a full bodykit or just put a new standard bak bumper on. Wat would yous all do? Also with a bodykit would i still be able to fit my lowering springs on? It's the 50/30 springs i have for it and 215/40 tyres due to rubbing on the bak arches

The lampost is right on the edge of the kerb but the angle i was looking at it from made it look like it was at the bak of the pavement rather than at the kerb. Found that it wasn't the hard way lol

I know now it's at the front

Re: Back Bumper Help

Sod the body kit - just get some reversing sensors fitted (I don't think it's too expensive to do)

Re: Back Bumper Help

you dont have much luck do ya mate..... i wuold say go splash out on a bodykit buts that just my preference? Depends if your thinking about keeping the stilo long? As if your not, you could probaly pick up a second hand rear bumper and get it sprayed obviously for alot cheaper!
