I am still trying to figure out if I like smoothed bumpers or not. by the way, if you are thinking of having stuff done to your rear hatch let me know because I have a spare one (bought one from scrappy that is now fitted to my car to save my car being off the road for too long, I was also not sure about the quality of workmanship at the place that carried out the work so I thought it would be a good idea to have a spare!) turned out to be a really good finish and a really good price (
