      I'd stick with the S2 bumper, and go with an RS2 grille personally... maybe renew the fog lights too.

      But then again...... RS2?

        I dont like colour coding personally i really like the black stripes takes the edge of the look of the car.

        In saying that your car looks wicked colour coded white!

          yeah the colour does make a big difference to what you do. as rosco said, rs2 grille would be a big improvement

            I'm looking at doing the same. I really like the S2 bumper when the car has been colour coded. I'd stay standard and spend the money elsewhere . RS2 Spec, I love mine pulls really well and is still a sleeper

              I like the look of the RS2 bumper, looks mean :mischeif:

              BUT

              This is just my opinion so no one get upset what each person does to their car is up to them and 99.9% of the time it looks great, apart from gulllwing doors etc, but I think the RS2 front bumper is only suited to the Avant, just doesn't look right on the coupe

              As Jamo says, black trim around the bottom just sets it off.

              Hard to reply in posts like this, you kinda hope people don't think you don't like the look of their cars

                    IMHO the RS2 is just too soft and rounded for the coupe - too much colour & a hint too much of Max power..... It just loses some of the standard bumpers aggression.
                    OK so the design spawned a generation for every other boy racer car under the sun - but I firmly believe the standard S bumper is spot on. Just get some shiny new fogs.

                    (only down side being the lack of space for a properly proportioned intercooler)

                        This is also my opinion..

                              He's trying to convince me to go RS2 Bumper route in the future!

                              Reminds me need to phone said man to visit his lock up.

                              To be honest i wouldn't haven't considered it unless silly woman hadn't bumped me.
