I prefer big bumpers. Even on my early gti. 
Many see the fascination with small bumpers.

I like them if done properly so you can't see the old mountings on the wings for the bigger bumpers, especially if in all black on a white or red car.

each to their own, i think it looks nice but they suit the s1 rear much more.

YEs i agree, i think the front end looks cool with the small bumper which is why i wanted them to begin with, but like you said the rear just suits s1s so much more

I had planned to do the small bumpers on my 83 but I decided to keep it how it would of been produced.

I do however love the look of small bumpers and no arch trims  :wub:

I prefer the small bumpers and probably wont be running arch trims. Just going to run small arch spats which will be glued rather than drilled/fixed. Every bit of plastic trim is a rot magnet in my opinion :lol:

I like the small ones two on my car, don't think that the the big ones looks nice with my colour.



But i like it on your car Toby  :thumbs:

I don't like big tail lights with small bumpers, doesn't look right.

this is spot on..

the front end looks better with small bumpers, the back (of an s2) looks better with bigger bumpers…

one of each??  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :o  O_o
