Right im gonna take the plunge in to making the front end a little more "sporty".

What are the views of me fellow forum members. I am prefering the CSR design.............but the Hartge does also look rather nice.....HELP :lol:

CSR - Top
Hartge - Bottom

csr does look better in those pics but i think the hartge has its charms!

I agree with STK, go with the CSR. The Hartge just isn't in keeping with the overall body shape.
Yup Im with STK and M9RC on this one! :cool:cool

hartge for me i think, csr is too boy racer looking, looks to be lower than the skirts? i have the same car, and love the look all round, the front could do with something, considered sport kit all round, but can be costly enough, i would be worried about getting it painted, then starting to chip alot sooner than the rest of the car, so a lower valance would probably be best option, how much you talking for the csr and harte valance?

The Hartge, more in keeping with the edges and curves of the rest of the bodywork.

Cheers guys - The CSR is the cheaper option at about £180 inc P&P. I will need then to get it painted which ive got a buddy who can do that.

The Hartge was about £300 inc P&P which again needs paitning.

The only other option I have found is this one......... which I do like :hihi

csr is too much like a snow plough imo!! would you not purchase a used m sport front bumper and get it painted? or are you wanting to keep the standard se front and add on a valance? considering something myself, i can get a sport front for 200, in black, 100 would paint it!

I have looked into a M front but for the hassle of removing the bumper and having to get a whole new one replaced the "add on" fronts offer a change of look, hybrid looks with a M-Sport and are alot easier to fit + cheaper to paint ;)
