smooting my bumpers
what do people think i should do? need ideas..
need to take into account:
full votex kit
reverse parking sensors
i wouldn't mind the votex been smoothed in, but then i think it'l look a bit of a chavvy front bumper??
but will smoothing rub strips and not votex look shoite?
some light on the situation please

Re: smooting my bumpers
Ditch the parking sensors to start with mate, they'll ruin the look!
I'd smooth the front bumpstrip,
side strips,
rear bumps strip, and blend the rear into one flush shape.
The front splitter will fine as it is, although wouldn't look half bad done also.
If you can afford it, get the sideskirts flushed in too.
it all depends on what you can afford. But i'd definitely do the sensors and bumpstrips all round

Inspiration perhaps
Re: smooting my bumpers
Going off Tim's pic pip I would get it done. I have been thinking about smoothing the bump strips for awhile but don't have the votex to worry about.
I am off to polo9n.info to see what I can find

Re: smooting my bumpers
i know saw that car when he first did it ages ago which got me thinking
a guy i've been told to go to will do smoothed bump strips for £180 so say £200 each. and £500 overall to budget for lol.
i dont know about full smoothd sides with the side skirts and bump strips on doors.
parking sensors suck anyway so no biggy there.
any more pics of 9n's with votex that have been smoothed at all tim in your archive?
