Is it worth gettin bumpers colour coded

[Toshoid]

is it worth gettin bumpers colour coded or just gettin red bumpers from another car? ones i got at the mo are just plain grey..............

if you can source the bumpers in the right colour and shade for cheap then do that, be hard though?

I agree with FM.

i did this mate, its piece of cake and looks great

grab ur self a bit of sand paper and an aerosol can - all you need

the door ones pull off but in my experiance the bumper ones wont come off (i got a 1991 mk1 so might be different for you)

go for it, aerosol cans wont be anywhere near as expensive as a new bumper

+1.. Even if you mess it up and start again it'll still be cheaper. You also get the satisfaction of seeing your own DIY.

sounds straight forward enough !!

was thinkin of a williams bonnet, but will it fit on a phase 3 and would it look right in red?

 

[Craigie-B15]

yes I agree with the satisfaction point of view, I was so proud that id done it myself

you can get williams 3 and the red valver looks hot with the bonnet, im going for one of these as well

The Williams bonnet will fit the PH3 but you need to get PH1/2 front lights.. Dont worry about the wings or bumper as it'll still fit.
Unless you get a 16v vent moulded into the bonnet

DIY FTW!! i did this with my bump strips, planning on doing the front soon aswel woo

sprayed full bumpers with aerosols? got some pics? i wouldnt even do that myself tbh

 

[Toshoid]

yeh id be interested in pics.......... see how to do it etc...

 

[Toshoid]

what's the difference in the phase 3 to 1 and 2 ? different size?
i know the lighting is not the same but isnt the overall size the same ?

[kaimcg]

[kie1an]
