Hi i keep reading posts saying that the fiberglass bumpers are terrible and the worst thing ever ti grace gods earth....

but (out of sick curiousity really) has anyone ever fitted one, anyone got any pictures?
do they fit so badly?

im guessing yes...
just wondering really!

Had one trial fitted on my car for 3 minutes a couple of years ago. Severe lack of proper mounting points compared to an OEM bumper.

pair on mine but are hanging on for grim death to be honest - horrid to mess with

been tempted to get the expanding foam out and fillem up to make some more secure mountings but they spend more time off the car anyway

That's the only way forward with them really, spend time making secure mounting points.

when they fall off and shatter into tiny pieces i'll have an excuse to put some proper ones on

only got em as they were available / my F2 bumper disintegrated / same colour / cheap

and my teenage kids like em so they think daddy is cool well that's my excuse anyway

I wouldn't bother with a whole bumper made from it, the slightest car park knock and it'll be on the floor. Fibreglass is better suited to spoilers & side skirts to be honest. The trouble with it is that it's not very flexible which means it cracks. I'd recommend ABS plastic for front lips or polyurethane (spelling?), it's virtually industructable, perfect for knocking your car on the floor with .
