Damaged my bumper...should i replace with m-sport or performance?

ss134 · 01-27-2010, 12:24 PM

Hi,
Absolutely gutted - scraped my M sport bumper today, its bad enough for an insurance claim for a new bumper. I am undecided on which bumper to replace it with. Another M Sport or the performance bumper?
I have posted a pic of my car with the M sport bumper and another car with the performance.

Please look at both pics and say which you prefer - i am genuinely 50/50 with this and cant decide.

The car with the performance bumper has the black performance grill as well but i am interested in your opinions of just the bumper.

M sport 1st pic performance 2nd.

PLEASE VOTE ON THE POLL.

MANY THANKS!

VTECaddict · 01-27-2010, 12:28 PM

M-sport

NiVeDh · 01-27-2010, 12:30 PM

M-Sport. Personally, I need the fog lights.

Kensta335 · 01-27-2010, 12:31 PM

M-sport, looks better and more aggressive. Also can keep the fogs.

That is definately a consideration.

SpmnE9zero · 01-27-2010, 12:38 PM

M Sport no questions asked!

The giant, featureless mid section of the Performance bumper looks really bad/boring IMO.

Addicted2Boost · 01-27-2010, 12:39 PM

ss134 · 01-27-2010, 01:22 PM

I am really shocked by the lack of love for the performance bumper - its looking like a new m sport bumper for me then!

CaptainKibbles · 01-27-2010, 04:21 PM

Definitely go with M-Sport. Looks so much better and you get to keep your fog lights

Verbiage · 01-27-2010, 04:27 PM

OEM FTW

M-Sport killing it right now LOL.

ss134 · 01-27-2010, 04:31 PM

I really thought this would be close.....eveyone likes the M Sport!

DOUT · 01-27-2010, 07:09 PM

Definitely performance, but then again you lose your fog lights...

Kev · 01-27-2010, 07:55 PM

The Performance bumper look a little too squished and wide.
