[Mk2] [Generic] What do you guys think?

Post by BiGWiLlYsTyLe »

Hi,If you look in my garage you can see i have a Border front,TOMs sideskirts and standard bumper with spats.IMO i think its the rear bumper that might need changing to a TOMs one to balance the look out??

Opinions will be welcome as long as you agree
:lol:

Thanks,Will

Looks nice will... Rear bumper always a tricky one.. I see quite a few with aftermarket ones on and they do spoil its looks !!

Susprised I havent seen you about... I do all my maintenance / mod work in a lockup in darlo ! :mrgreen:

Its in Borough Road inustrial estate near lawn mower man !! Opposite the train station ??! :D

Plate - best keep within legal requirements.. you'll only get pulled and deemed a nusance vehicle. Nasty to put a plate on.. but you need one... choice is down to a square or traditional rectangular :-k

I think the existing spats compliment the skirts pretty well. How about just getting them smoothed in? Be a different look but not cost a fortune. Just a thought.

Bumper...

Car looks good mate... nice.

It's all personal choice really, i prefer the smoothed body styling which it is sometimes not achieved by adding spats.

I have a perfect condition TOMS rear bumper in Astral on a car that I'm breaking if you're interested?

Hi ian1703,I dont think thats a TOMs rear bumper as the TOMs lip starts just below the lights if you know what i mean whereas on the one it goes vertical for a bit then comes out.Do you have any more pics??

Yeah mrtee in think it is the way forward :thumleft:

Definately not a Toms rear dude.. if it's the one in the picture.


**EDIT**

I've just lightened the photos you've posted in my editor.

They look like Border spats blended in.. :-k
