Just thought id give you abit of an update i know there not to everyones taste but i had a 16v front bumper fitted and sprayed today which i think makes the car look so much wider and lower than my old 8v bumper and the rear 16v bumper colour matched to my car as it was a slightly different shade of green. i haven't got a front grill for the bumper yet but I'm getting one tommorw of Arj. give me some feedback peeps hope you like :-D

This is outside the bodyshop before it got a clean;

On my university campus (not that anyone at this uni would notice any difference i don't thinl

all clean

EDIT i missed a pic and btw sorry for phone pics

looks pretty cool without the grill in!!!!

thanks, i know i was thinking exactly the same thing before, mmm maybe colour coding is in order but I'm not sure

I'm liking the wheels. You got any side on pics?

thanks there th lines 15x8 i haven't really got any full on side profile pictures of the wheels on this computer i have a slightly better one of them pre 16v bumpers the backs have a bigger dish this is the front;

its a poor picture i know

rears looks spaced out nicely!

thanks mate, there a lower offset than the front so i haven't needed to touch them, they are just like that

looks cracking

how come i never see you out on the road though?!!

really nice car mate, come on in leaps and bounds lately

looks sweet dude, lookin forward to seeing it at liquid

Those bump strips MUST come off... would look SOOO much better without!

where's this one been hiding!

nice car mate, wheels suit it down to the ground

nice mods

i think the bump strips give it a chunk-ier look... keep them on!

This is really nice!

the stance given by those low offset 8's is crazy!! really like it, get the grille back in IMO tho, looking niice!!

The wider look of a 16v front bumper is exactly why I'm swaying over to getting one.

But at the same time, a 16v with an 8v bumper could be sleeper stylie!!

I like it mate, great work!

thanks for all your comments, and trevor its weird how i never see you around its not exactly a big place with the bump strips I'm in 2 minds like nykie said i think they make it look chunk-ier but i do want to takew them off but when i had a tiny trial run it seemed the paint had bonded to the strips so I'm abit worried about pulling them off. but thanks again for all your comments i now have a centre bumper grill and some pressed plates :biggrin:

get some colour coded mk5 bump strips :p
