ok

So went to make a start on doing the wide/big mouth bumper

Doing a kinda gsi lookalike more or less except for the big mouth and putting an S type splitter on

always liked the big mouth an had intended to do it

But now im not so sure

Getting hostility from a few people over it, lol

They seem to think looks better as is

So now

do i keep the front bumper
Wide mouth it
keep it and put the splitter on
wide mouth it and put splitter on

who's car is it, theirs or yours ?? Its your car mate, and if you wanna big mouth it then go for it. other peoples advice is fine - but it shouldnt make you change what you've always wanted to do.

yeh thats normally how i think

but now im thinking what if i go ahead with it an fook it up

seen pics where i love the widemouth, but seen a few dodgy ones aswell

The one in the gallery thats kinda goldy/yellow is lovely

if it goes wrong then you pay a bodyshop a few quid to sort it out. bodywork is easy if ya take ya time. dont be scared to mess it up - bodyfiller and fibreglass were invented for a reason

big mouth it, i too love the look of big mouthed GSi bumpers. i hate the typeS splitter tho, ruins the side profile of the car.

Dont big mouth it and stick the splitter on, big months only look good with a dirty great FMIC sitting on the hole, IMHO....

Yep what Add said, but its your car dude..

shinx · 21-05-2005, 10:56

Do whatever you want mate, its your car and no-one elses

you will always get the "know it alls" who think their advice is god like

A car enthusiasts car is a symbol of their individuality, whether it be a mint standard example or a one-off!!

IF YOU LIKE IT................. DO IT!!

and good luck
