[Mk2] [Turbo] Front Bumper Help!

Post by mcoppen »

Afternoon,

My Veilside Bumper is now officially beyond economical repair after one to many incounters with speed bumps.
Now my problem is i do about 400 miles a week in my MR2, and i have really had enough of being worried about where i go in fear of hitting my front bumper as it annoys me so much. I have narrowed my options down to a standard front bumper rev 3+ with the lower lip or a border front. My car has the full veilside kit on it at the moment, if i go back to standard front will it look crap with the rest of the veilside kit? Like the border/veilside combo, but if its going to hit the floor not sure i can put up with it.

That is perfect. Nearly like a mini-Veilside, without the length. Well found. Just got to find one now. Any ideas?

Yep. I will acquire a standard front bumper first and then hunt for a lip. At the moment my Veilside is ruined and is missing the splitter, so needs changing ASAP.
