Smoothin it would be good, but im a bit stuck for money to do it till i get full time work, and not part time.

Does it jus involve filling lines, smoothin over etc etc?

In my opinion the GTE kit is really nice. You hardly ever see a GTE these days, everyone for years has either done a facelift & used GSi bumpers or slapped on some completely tasteless shoite in the form of Abyss or Kingdom stuff.

So I would say std GTE all round or smooth it if you must. I only think it looks good smoothed in certain colours. White IMO.

Oh right ok. i dont like mk2's as much so the gsi facelift option doesnt appeal to me at all.

The abyss kit came with this one, liked it for a while, but i just wanted my old GTE bak.

Ill only end up smootin it if i can be bothered, which in my case, is probably not. just get it sprayed up to match the car colour.

I like this a lot. The black wheels & white paint just works so well.

Perhaps White is the worst colour to keep the lines in the bumpers.

ps: Those bumper lines remind me of the packets of plasticene you got at school. ;)

yeh i knowwat u mean about the plastrecine packs.

Black on white does look good, im lookin to get a set of black/anthracite 16" alloys soon, put the gte kit on my car in same colour as the car with the black skirts and front and rear splitter, so will be like that one but in Helios Blue not white.
