Aero bumper to MK1 GT3 Bumper (pics inside)
After two months a new engine and a new bumper she's back and I could not be more thrilled. I really like the looks of the OEM GT3 bumper on the car - the car came with the side skirts OEM so it all flows pretty well IMO. It's a very subtle but aggressive change. I think it's a change that really brings the wheels and skirts into play and works. Maybe a wing is next??
Please ignore the bugs on the bumper...I drove 250 miles last night working on that break in period.

Yup, looks fantastic, bumper/wheels and all...well done!
You're in a Win Win situation
The right wing would finish the look, IMO.
Leave it alone...all good. You've got the ****, done up right as is.
Enjoy your fresh new ride

looking good. im glad its all pulling together as i followed your engine thread like a soap opera each day.
one small point ( i have ocd i think) is that that looks like an aero bumper thats on there replacing the standard bumper and not a GT3 bumper. difference is that GT3 has the centre vent opened and the aero has the vent closed off. it might be the light but it looks colour matched to the bumper in there and not open to the internals of the car.

yeah, there's a couple of pics where it def looks gloss black in that recess and thus an aero bumper and others where it looks like it might indeed be opened through and thus a gt3 version.
I actually thought the paint match with the car is excellent. No noticeable shading difference at all.
