Howdy all popin me driftireland chery here so be gentle :) After a year off de road due to a new baby and some other financial matter its finally time to put my car back on de road :D just thought i'd ask opinions on weather i should stick with de buzzy lookin sticker bumper or go for a new nice one??? i'd like a nice clean one but at de same time i hate de heart ache of constantly chippin and cracking dem.

Here's a few pics with and without stickers:

if you can, change the bumper altogether for something slightly more subtle, change the wheels back to silver and lower it more

all my opinion of course, but the sticker bomb thing is past its prime

Get rid of the bumper I reckon, sticker bombed bumpers are as overdone as breast cancer stickers on yaris bootlids now!
I feel your pain though, fibreglass bumpers are a never ending cycle of heartbreak.
Here's mine, I cant wait to get a new one!

dont hit roundabouts so!! :D ive my yoke literally 3" from the floor and my bumper is ok....i drive it fairly on as well to be honest! but there have been a couple of occasions when ive broken em up in the past!! sickening! would ya not put a standard bumper on it with a plastic lip? could be nice!

For 400 I'm sure you could get a carbon/Kevlar bumper!

Get the heat gun out and undo all that sticker bombing and stitch up any damage with a few cable ties saves money and improves looks
