Rear bumper mod - yes or no

Debating whether I should vinyl a small section. I'm thinking glossy black vinyl. Not cf cause it'll clash with the glossy cf already on my car. I don't know - kind looks like an audi rear bumper......

NOW

I think you should definitely do it. It would look great and flow well with your theme.

The mod will look very good indeed!

In fact, SO good, that when looking at your before and after pics, it actually looks like that they forgot to cut that section out at the factory!


It'll look properly good... you must do it.

Have you considered cutting that section out?.... or would it reveal too much of the under-carriage?... Just a thought.

You have a CF front lip right?

Might want to consider CF vinyl on it as well!

The only 203 bumper that would fit is the front one off the C55, and that's only because its a w209 bumper.
