i just brought a cinq but its got a massive crack in the front bumper its all ready got a spoiler and has been properly lowered.

would it be worth my while getting a stock bumper on get a hole body kit?
 
Depends really on what bodykit you will be choosing. Some of the bodykits look sick on cars, others just look (n). The crack you have on your front bumper. The bumper would need to be removed. Light scuff on the cracked area then fibreglass applied on the crack. The bumper would then need to have body filler applied to the front to hide the crack. Sanded and colour applied. All that can be easy done at home. You can plastic weld bumpers which is alot better than fibreglass. Taking your car to a bodyshop you might find they might just replace the front bumper to save time.With a bodykit depends on what company you go with. Some bodykits are a nightmare to fit as they are a mold. Molds wear over time. The problem with bodykits fibreglass does not flex. If you bumped anything it would crack. Stock bumpers are made from a flexable plastic which alloys them to flex. Repairing the front bumper would be cheaper. Its really personal choice my punto has a stock bumper.I smoothed it over instead of a kit. Again others like what ive done others hate it. Personal choice,Look you are going for and of course budget :)
 
cheers mate .. well its kinda a hole as well and quite big at that .. where can you get this plastic weld stuff? .. if thats your punto in the pic its lush :p. thanks for the help
