What Bumper?

Post by mkandy »

I've got a perfectly good Roversports front bumper ready to go on my 220, however i'm concerned that the design of the grill could restrict the airflow, unlike the open mouth of the coupe.

I don't want to hack apart the roversports bumpers, as they're getting rather rare now.

So, which should i use, Roversports or a Coupe Bumper?

I think pics of both (on hatches) are needed...

From memory the roversports bumper looks more chunky and muscular, which probably suits the hatch more imo.
