Moulding Or No Moulding

Recommended Posts

jonnygoodhand

Below is a picture of my UK Rallye, complete with painted bumpers and white moudling strip (basically a standard silver moulding, carefully covered in white electrical tape!).

Since this picture was taken, I've managed to get my hands on what seems to be a set of Euro Rallye Bumpers - White bumpers in a semi-gloss finish, with holes drilled only for attaching the arches and the bumper mounting bolts - i.e. no holes for the moulding fixing clips.

My question is, should I drill some additional holes so I can fix the red moudling (thus destroying the 'smoothness' of the bumper)

Or leave it as it is?

Any comments are greatly appreciated!

The thing I love about the rallye is it's clean - nothing superfluous look. "go" rather than "show" so my view is as- is, no trim.

standard always looks best imo mate. Nice looking cars like yours should stay standard / faithfull to what peugeot intended. There are loads of tampered cars out there its hard to resist the temptation but leave it standard.Up to you in the end what ever floats y boat....

Thanks for the comments. Plain it is then!

 

But for this I need some new bumper fixing bolts, as I twisted mine to bits when removing the originals! Does anyone know anywhere that stock these? I would try my local Peugeot dealer, but previous conversations with them make me wonder if they actually remember that they once produced a model called the 205...
