So you mean that since you hit stuff you prefer the US bumpers over the shorter euro bumpers, hehe. I think that I am going to get a set of euro bumpers for the look. I was looking at a 300D non turbo and it hasa better bumper than the turbo cars because its rubber strip stays in better than the clip on ones. Maybe you should look into one of those because then it would be even stronger. That would be pretty cool. Can someone confirm which model comes with the heavier duty bumper?
