I have to admit, I never realised the 360 bumper could look as good as this. Starting to think it would look awesome.

Has anyone got a photo of a Sprint blue one with the 360 bumper?

Never been a fan of that bumper but colour definitely makes it look better

The bumper is too tall for the delicate coupe front profile, it looks far too Barry!

If it was more true to std and had a splitter to make up the depth then it could look ok.

I prefer it to standard, they can look very nice if combined with the right colour. They can look a bit ott on the brighter coloured coupes.

I have had friends say its more reminiscent of the new 911 Turbo (997) front end than 360, well in that photo anyway.

I am not sure it will suit a Sprint blue and also the cooling for my FMIC wont be better than the standard, though it may not be any worse.

I have a small front number plate, (only 5 digits) so I am kind of tempted.

Think that'll look great Charlie, dare to be different, too many Coupes look exactly the same on here!

Doesn't do it for me that particular style. IMO people think "wants to make it look like a ferrari" Not necessarily those on here, but generally!

Having had a PIU, that would be my choice. Just my 2p worth smile
