Back to having grey bumpers. pics

[nathan.]

What do you think? Ive been toying with the idea to change the colour of the bumpers and skirts for a while now. So yesterday I thought fook it, went out and bought some dark grey bumper paint. I love it, totally changes the look of the car.

Looks lovley ;)

[Adam]

Looks way better with grey bumpers. :)

Did you use any primer or ought?
Or did you just spray bumper grey paint straight on?

The finish looks great for spray cans :wink:

[nathan.]

Thanks for comments guys.

I just used wet and dry on the painted bumpers and sprayed over them.

Grey bumpers are the way to go. I sold 2 GSi front bumpers in favour of the grey ones, never actually thought of spraying the GSi ones though... :(

[Chris]

I go with the flow, grey looks better

Chris

[coxie]

the grey look 10 times better mate .. nice job 8)

[andyrs1800]

Grey GSi bumpers are the future... looks miles betta...

[-Bruce-]

LOL like most of us, I much prefer the Grey bumpers Nathan. Good stuff.

Bruce

[Matt Nova]

i can't decide but i think it'd look better without the mud flaps

[Mitchybee]

Looks alot better like that

Where did you get the bumpers from, they look brand new

[Lee H]

I'll be different, i prefer them blue but with the skirts grey, don't like colour coded GSi/GTE skirts on any car!!

[Ben]

I like the grey bumpers, bold move though.

[ANDYRACER]

IMO i perfered them blue. Usually i like non-coloured coded bumpers but in that colour blue they just look nice colour-coded.

[Ste_Nova]

all grey plastics is the future
