Just a quick question really... what do you think would suit my car more?

Car in question is the blue one below. The bumpers & Arches will be getting sprayed antracite, just can't decide which bumpers to do. Don't want to get aftermarket bumpers as I want to keep it looking standard.

Post 97 bumpers (V-Grill style)

Or Pre 97 bumpers (as below)?

Thank youuuu

post 97. pre looks like poverty spec, even if you want it to be a sleeper, just doesn't look nice.

Isn't that the point though? Sleepers are never designed to "look nice"

If i saw a corsa all cleaned and polished with painted bumpers fly past, id just think nice car.

If i saw a ratty one with all plastic, old bumpers i think thats ace and have a little chuckle

yes it is but i'd prefer a nice looking car to go with the quick 2.0 lump.

but whatever floats your boat

edit: if i saw a tatty old 2.0, i'd think ''what a hunk of shit''

guess i appreciate exterior detail more than the quickness of a car
