GSi rear bumper

[draper]

whats the difference between a GSi rear bumper and a standard mk2 rear bumper??

cheers

All mk2 nova rear bumpers are all the same, some GSi bumpers look different as some people have smoothed out the tow hole or one of the swage lines.

I thought GSi bumpers were smoother whereas standard Mk2 bumpers had a "bobbly" texture...

Edit: According to here (http://www.novaload.net/forum/showthread.php?t=4322&highlight=bumper+difference) there's a cutout for the exhaust. :)

You see alot of smooth colour coded GSi bumpers but you can get them with the 'bobbly' effect unsprayed.

The bumpers are the same apart from a bigger exhaust cut out on the GSi.
Both std mk2 and GSi are bobbly textured, but as GSi's had colour coded bumpers, the paint on the bumper makes it look smooth and fills in the bobbles.

I stand corrected :thumb:

So if you want a GSi rear bumper, get a std mk2, spray it with filler primer, Voila, Gsi bumper :)

The exhaust cut out on a gsi bumper is marked up on all mk2 rear bumpers
