if i ever got hit, that would be when I got the insurance to buy me a euro bumper.
wow man I would be so upset. On the positive side of things, white is a nice colour for so many reasons.
One being that you can match the paint so easy.

Yep as Trakcar said
I had a cup LSD put in the car
Rodger from Orbit warned and warned me the car would turn in different and to take it easy
First session out, first hot lap I drag the brake a little to get the nose set for 13 and the car turns much much more than it used to.
Hit apex curb and before I realized it the rear end was sliding
tapped the armco at maybe 1 mph.....wet grass
Lesson learned, still love the LSD but I do believe it makes the car more finicky when trail braking
When I had all the red taken off I had the rear bumperette replaced and painted. The bumper needed paint anyways.....the paint was starting to turn yellow behind the license plate area from engine heat

When I first got the GT3 I almost spun a million times the first day trying to trail brake into the corners

I will answer than question in detail below
I can picture one of these Euro bumper on your RS
lol
Don't blame me for making you spend more money on your RS
It will be alot easier to blend white paint on your RS compare with my signal green
Thanks. I don't know the price on the 2010 Euro rear bumper but I can imagine weight saving will be similar
OK, here is the price break down of my Euro rear bumper with parts diagram. These prices are from 1 year ago so it might differ slightly.
Total: $2595.03. Not bad for a Euro rear bumper conversion
