first of all me and my mates went for a ride round preston town centre, there was me in my polo, two 1.5 civic lsi's, 1.5 vtec civic, rover 216 and a fiesta zetec. first we went through the centre to look at all the ladies at night
(french maids might i add lol)
then we went in a parkin lot n went straight to the top floor of it. got kinda bored so the 1.5 vetec civic said, "u fancy a race" i laughed n said y not, mines an 8 valve and his was 16valve, so.....we rev n we set off n i beat him!!!!!! anyways after that. we went to some car park, n we were messing about, and the idiot i am thought it would be a good idea to handbrake round a corner. i saw it comin but i couldnt stop......and smash! i crashed.

always seems like a good idea at the time eh?
new bumper should just bolt on providing you havnt damaged any of the mounts!

Looking at the pic I'd say a new one should just bolt on
But (in serious mode) seems as though you should respect it more mate
(end serious mode)
The GTi's handbrake only gets used if my cars rolling when i've stopped, or when I park it

yes, they will fit. it might be worth telling your insurance company if you put them on though

hope you've learnt your lesson.
I'd go to a scrap yard, looks like a cheap fix as long as the wheels are straight.

sorry about that mate, we always learnt the hard way...myself included...a few time lol
get a 16v, mine was a not genuine part from euro car parts and was about 40 50 quid. it came with a splitter too.
fits straight on, not a problem there.....get it smoothed too!!!!
a crash is always a good excuse for new bits

ouch, but agree with the others, looking at it from the pic, seems all in good nick, just the bumper and spliter that have taken the damage - lucky
easy fix
