Hybrid Sport

Chris.G · 06-11-2006, 20:06

At last after a blooming long wait ive had the vRS bumper + parking sensors fitted to my octy Sport, im kind of glad I drove into that wall now because im very pleased with the new look.

The dealer was not happy fitting the bumper because they were not sure it would fit but all has worked out fine. I thought Id push the boat out and have the silver surround fitted around the stereo/sat nav too, it would have been rude not to

Excuse the dirty exterior but the cars been through a lot lately, im going to treat it to a wash and polish during the week. makes a change from all the shinny motors on here anyway

Looking forward to cruise control next

Nice job Chris

WW_VRS · 06-11-2006, 21:53

Looking good

vRSLen · 06-11-2006, 21:59

I do like the reflectors, very distinctive at night.

Tom_vRS · 06-11-2006, 22:14

Looking very well fella. Nice one.

looks good - especially like the silver surround

So the 'Sport' bodykit is not the same as the 'VRs' bodykit?

Totally different bumpers -

Chris.G · 07-11-2006, 13:49

Thanks for the comments.

Have to say im a bit disappointed...........I thought the vRS bumper would add at least 5 bhp. Maybe I need the front one aswell before I see any gains

yaktrebor · 07-11-2006, 14:04

Is it me?

The two pictures look the same????

Can you tell me what the difference is?

LeighB · 07-11-2006, 15:28

No, definitely different, look again closely and in one the upper edge of the bumper line is continuous and runs across below the panel below the bootlid opening.
On the other the bumper is part of the bootlid opening, and "wraps round" slightly higher than that.
Also the whole shape of the lower part is different, disregarding the parking sensors.
Both look good, but I don't know which is which?

Chris.G · 07-11-2006, 16:23

vRS on the left, Sport on the right.

vRS bumper is more angular where as the Sport is a lot more rounded and seems to bulge out more at the sides. I supose you need to be wearing your anorak to spot the difference

yaktrebor · 07-11-2006, 16:25

I think we need a side view.

gavinvrs · 07-11-2006, 16:53

Doesn't it look a bit strange having the rear bumper and not the front too...?

delroy · 09-11-2006, 16:41

I like the look of that. I much prefer the sport spoiler too over the vRS one.

**VRStu** · 09-11-2006, 17:16

Looks like they've done a nice job with the Parkies too.
