Hey All,

Im kind of in love with the front bumper in the Rowan body kit.

Now the official Rowan Kit is pretty expensive but there are lots of replicas available on sites like Ali Express etc.

Has anyone had any experience with any of these in the past?

There was a member on here last year at some point who had a white one with a Rowan bodykit.

I don't mind it really, the extra brake light is interesting. I have the standard bumper and it's horrible so I want just about anything else but it is the front that I like the most

I follow the chap on Instagram and friends on fb who owns the white one with the genuine kit. Really nice guy!

It’s not the look I’d choose (hence why I haven’t!) but I do think it suits his car. Each to their own and everything.

I personally wouldn’t fit cheaper replica bumpers, I bet they fit terribly and will cost a fortune in labour making right.

If you like it go for it, it's a conversation piece :)

I don't really understand the hate, the front bumper adds a little extra which I think the car needs. I do not have a m sport bumper and the car need a few extra points on the aggressive front. The rear bumper is a bit of a stronger look so I can see that being contentious.
