Replica RS2 bumper from SMK tuning? Yes? No?

[gbleenz]

As much as I would like to buy a Rieger RS2 replica bumper, being a student my finances won't allow me to buy the bumper, necessary lights, brackets etc.

I have been considering buying one of these replicas from SMK tuning. For £130 they seem very cheap. I imagine that I would need to reinforce the plastic, as it looks a little flimsy. BUT - they look to be made to accommodate standard S2 lights and blinkers. This is a big selling point for me.

Has anybody had any experience with these guys? They seem to think that it may not fit to the S2/RS2 - could this be because of the intercooler?

This post looks to be the same product, but I can't be certain. As does the one on this rally car:

Original bumper is damaged beyond repair?

that has the standard 80/90 fog lights and indicators, so if you wanted to save money you wouldnt have to use the expensive rs2 ones

Thanks for your replies.

No, I still have the original S2 bumper on the car. I want to get an RS2 lookalike bumper though.

The 80/90 fogs & indicators - they are the same as the stock S2 ones, aren't they?

My main concern is whether or not it will fit with the intercooler

That SMK replica looks very good and not expensive, better than some glassfiber replicas that cost the same or more.

SMK says it won´t fit S2!

Have I got this right , THEY make an RS2 replica bumper but THEY don't think it will fit an S2 /RS2 ? !!

That is very odd, otherwise it looks like a good option, and one I might have to consider if I can't find the real thing...
