am i alone in thinking that the small bumpered mk2 looks cooler than the big bumper?!!! please dont hit me if i am!
if you're going euro than yes or if you cant aford big ones i prefer big myself but small bumpered, de-side trimmed, small chrome wide wheeled, chrome trimed ones look awesome
i say keep them small for pre 90.nothing worse than a big bumpered mk2 with all the pre 90 spec trims [:^(]
Agree with Alby. Small or big bumper doesnt matter to me, just ditch those horrible fat side strips please.
My valver is the same as it left the factory in 1986 and that`s the way I like it.Some prefer big others small and fashion dictates what is alright today is crap tomorrow personally small has been in and out twice since I have had my Golf so it doesn`t bother me what anyone else thinks the fact is I like them and that is that. Big side strips and all.
Just leave it be and as said previous never mix the big bumper with small bumper trim. Anybody got a Post 90 trim with small bumpers?
mines pre90 with big bumpers and small side trim(obviously didnt come like that out the factory), but i like that look, but i also love the euro small bumper look Edited by: oakgreen88
whoever had my valver before me (and pettsy)put big bumpers on and left the big fat strips, doesnt look too bad as it has no arch trims... but still.
i wanted a small bumper mk2, so i got one. the extra money for the big bumper cars didn't justify the lack of any benefits - and tbh i think i prefer the look
I`ve got one of each and never the twain shall meet! Did you know that golf country`s run 90 spec body kits with small bumpers
my car at the moment is all early spec including the doors (which just look shockingly bad on 4 door cars not so bad on three door cause the doors are bigger) but its all coming off when i can afford and the big bumpers and 90 spec trim is going on i prefer the 90 spec look, but some of the small bupmpered cars look awesome i think 90 spec look bigger, meaner and newer where as the small bumper with whipe weels look lower and phatt just depends what you like i dont particularly care whats in or not i just go with what i like i mean for gods sake 3 spokes were in once yuk yuk yuk
I think they both can look good when done right, but I prefer a nicely done small bumper to a big bumper usually... Depends on the individual car I suppose!
I like them both, but I think (IMHO) that they should wear the bumpers they left the factory with... if you want Big Bumpers, buy a big bumper model.....
well i'll be keepin my baby the way she left that small town in germany in 1988, although i wouldnt mind a set of BBS splitties in 15'' or 16''. anyone know where i can get some second hand?
