V6 255, 172's, JCW,
Because it looks better - you said it yourself!
You've completely missed my point!!
Its arguably a better looking bumper yes, but its for a Ph2! It doesnt go with the front of a Ph1 in the slightest. Ph1's are more rounded and earthy looking. Ph2's are far more sculpted. Just because it fits.. doesnt make it 'better'.
I suppose you'd put a Ph3 bumper on yours if it fitted.. lol
