Life is So lovely at times isn't it? /Sarcasm...
#1
So, as a few of you know I'm on the hunt for a Phase 1 D-Turbo/XSI/GTi/S16 bumper with fogs...now my car is Genesis blue, for which finding spare parts is a real headache, and DT bumpers even more so...so imagine my annoyance when I find exactly that...across England and half way into Ireland... Sad

Genesis? Not sure I've even seen one before! Miami blue looks similar. Is it the same colour as Jonny Bs S16?

I could mate but I've had things turn up broken many times and I just don't wanna risk paying so much to have it turn up broken...

My old DT was Genesis, it's a bitch to find parts for so I gave up in the end.

I think it was a phase 1 only colour, and not too well sold either.
Also it looks so much like Sigma on internet pictures that you have a real hard time judging eBay/Gumtree unless the seller really knows their stuff.
