The difference

[Marc]

I know this will have been asked hundred of times

Lookin at my bumper on me standard 1.2. Just wanted to know whats the difference between GSI and a standard bumper. i know they are colour coded but are they bigger than the standard?

thanx

[scoobyturbo]

yes the gsi bumper is about 2 inches deeper.it also has a bigger vent half way down that looks good if u cut it and mesh it

as you can see - from the number plate down theres a definate difference. The Gsi has the extra vent, flares out and is about 2" deeper

[Marc]

There is a big difference, cant wait to get some money and get a GSI kit

thanx for the help :D

i wouldn't say the GSi is 2 inches deeper.

i didn't really notice a massive change in depth, but they step out at the bottom, which is nice.
