Title: Can't decide whether to restore and refit the CDX bumper or go for the MV6...
Post by: Clouseau on 31 December 2011, 13:16:18

Ok folks, I'm having a bit of trouble making my mind up about front bumpers. The original CDX bumper had lost its gloss and the surface was breaking up quite badly:

Probably had a dodgy respray after this repair:

So this is the MV6:

And the CDX:

Which would you go with? ???

The standard one would look better once the whole of the bumper had a gloss coat on it.

Personally though I do like the Mv6 one, think its more modern and cleaner lines.

I'll try to 'paint' the mv6 bumper photo and send it to see what you think?

Go with the MV6 one - I fitted one to my black 02 plate Elite and I loved it - much easier to wash and it looked much better in my opinion but truth is no-one will ever notice it anyway because the car is black, even when I pointed mine out hardly anyone could notice the difference unless you were an Omega fanatic.

If you want me to email some before and after pics of mine PM your addy and you can see how it will look in black.
