small bumpers. am i alone?

...and in the interests of balance, some big bumpered ones...

 

well after seeing Darrenw's pics, i reckon the small bumper looks absolutely schweet. some how the the big bumpered ones in his pic just dont look right or was that deliberate?!!

 

Not deliberate, just the first big bumpered pics I found!

I like 'em both, but I have natural 'old skool and chrome' tendancies so I kind of lean towards small bumpers...

 

Back lights are wrong, rest of it is very right:

 

I think I've just gone right off mk2 golfs!

 

LOL!

 

Thanks to those of you who have complimented it, the car's always been on small bumpers as it's a F-plate. Should hopefully get it finished this year for another trip to the European shows.

 

Well, at least some arches that cover the wheels...............

 

Hmm... Think they both look good.

What would be best really is a big front bumper, and a small back (apart from the fact that it would look pooe).

I think the reason smalls look good on the back, is because you can see more of the tire and it makes them look a bit wider and aggressive

For the front, I really like the 16v spoiler on the small, but also the fogs on the bigs look good, and the 90 side sills were definately a good look when they brought them in.

 

I did the big front bumper and small rear one, with no arches one side and missmatched pre '90 GTI and GL ones on the other. It did look agressive but the dents and 'kill' on the bonnet helped with that!

 

Ok, i agree with the whole light cars with big bumpers and dark cars with little bumpers. Tho i whole heartedly think that mk1 and mk2 golf's look better left alone and not suped up.

How did the p-slot wheels on the last page get to lookin so good? cos mine just look boring cos they's sprayed

 

small bumpers all the way but I wouldn't retrofit small 'uns for
the sake of it !!

mk2's were not designed for 'big bumpers' and were just a lame
attempt to keep the golf looking up to date with crappy escorts
and othe shiiite cars, they are alot more expensive to replace or
repair what with the painting etc, don't look any better and are
heavier too. a bumper is for bumping and if it gets damaged
you can sling another on for 30 quid not 100 +

 

no.

old cars, small bumpers.
late cars, big bumpers.

leave it like that and stop ruining late GTI's....

 

And early GTI's!

 

yes, it looks sh1te. And it's an E reg anyway so I can't see why you used that car as an example?

I'm not saying cars should be left standard, I just can't see why people put inferior old sh1t on their cars and think it looks good? I find it quite laughable actually that people are prepared to spend good money (which could be spent elsewhere ont he car) on making it look like a 200 1985 1.3C

Don't even get me started on Ronal Turdo's.....(come on mods, we NEED that roll eyes smiley).

You'll all be putting big bumpers back on them in a couple of years anyway you fashion muppets.
