Rite, sometime next year i will be havin my Si rear bumper smoothed off (tow eye and possibly number plate light :???: ) and im thinkin about puttin a vent either side, i have got the choice between:
- renault espace (top)
- astra gsi (bottom)

of course the vent would be smoothed in to the bumper and not just "plonked" on??

Come on peeps im currently 60/40 towards the GSi ones, but which 1's do u lot think would be best??

CheeRS in advance :grin: Bridger :grin:

No mate don't go with the vents, think they look a bit naff on the SI. It's so smooth as it is.
If u wanna put some subtle aggression into the wings just hack through the wings with a jigsaw, in slanted slats, and then mesh behind them. Looks class when done right. Check this crap pic out to see what i mean. Oh i love MS Paint!

Bet u wanna do it already after looking at that!
