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

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![Wink](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
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![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
