Right I have an original cada front splitter to fit on a normal 20vt bumper....do I fit it or buy a cada copy full bumper from Mariusz?

Which will look better? Potential problems etc?

Thanks in advance \:\)

Personally I prefer the all in one option, which for me looks less like 'added on plastic bits'.

Ask Mariusz for a quote for the cada bumper, sprayed up and ready to fit.

Ask a local bodyshop for a quote for spraying up (?) and fitting of the cada lip to your front bumper.

If the difference is very little I'd recommend the Mariusz route, his production of bumpers is very good, and it's a doddle fitting a bumper DIY.

I would use the normal bumper, it will have a better fit on the car and line up better. The plastic wheel arch liners with the rubber edge dont always sit nice on after market bumpers IMO.

Also if you do ground out it will only snap the fibre glass section and the bumper will be more saveable. If you hit with all fibre glass it just might break in two.

Sorry mate, but I don't agree at all. Mariusz' bumpers are very good moulds, and the fit is just as good as the standard plastic bumper.

That said, you're right about the fibre-glass bumper, if you end up hitting it, it will crack. Then again, hit a plastic bumper hard enough, and it's not going to look great either.
