I had been 99.9% certain I was going to get a Cada front bumper. But then after seeing

and

I'm not so sure. confused


It looks like this at the moment. Going to debadge it too.

But please vote. And this is for the last time.

personally i would go for the PIU, nearly got one for my old porto but I don't think the LE skirts go with it

Thats the PIU in those pics isn't it? Thats the only front bumper change I would consider over the LE lips, really does suit the car, it almost looks standard! The the pic with the Integrale was the pic that finally made me buy a coop after liking them all these years!

How practical is the PIU bumper when it comes to speed humps? is it as bad as the Cada is supposed to be?

Oh and if PIU bumper owners could post pics I would really appreciate it- especially Porto owners. I think a gentleman called Ninja has this?

i personally think the PIU suits the solid colours better, and the metallic (including porto) suit the LE kit!

Think the PIU looks great from some corners, and I could say I like the PIU better than anything else apart from the LE lips. But then from other corners, the PUI's chin is a bit large.

Tell you what JKD, I've always been torn between these two, especially on the porto. Can I have dibs on your old bumper, if you can make this most difficult of decisions?

Hmm I'm even tempted by one of these for my Porto, and I swore i would never change the bumper.

I think we need a new photoshop challenge!

No offence to Mariusz, but i dont like his interpretation of the PIU front bumper.

The original has a nice sharp front to it whilst Mariusz's is more like a thick step. Personally i would only get the PIU if i could get the original type.

(I would also point out that in both the photos you reference, those cars have the original, compare them to eldinho's later in this thread)

Mariusz PUI flows into the zender skirts better than the original. the squarer bottom on the original better suits the LE skirts.

I've got PUI and zender on a porto and i think it looks cool

Truffle, any idea where you can get the original PIU from? Or who made it originally?

No worries mate. I have a vague recollection that it was someone in Italy but I could be making that up.

Anyway back on topic - my vote is for the PIU over the Cada bumper. No doubt about it.

yeah, you're right- the original piu seems noticeably sleeker

I agree that it looks better on metallics, especially steel grey. I imagine it would look superb on a Vinci Grey, but I can't say I've ever seen one.
