Worstens the approach angle, looks like it's been in a shunt, made out of old boiler pipes.  Not impressed, could do better myself (that's not saying much).

Um, no.  Don't like it.

Wouldn't be half as bad if it tried to follow the contour of the front of the car.  But it doesn't.

Don't like it.  Not even slightly.

I've had two bumpers in the last two weeks.  The first went back because it was damaged.  Because the company concerned were dragging thier heels in replacing it (had to follow the rules set out by the carriage company) and I wanted to get it fitted for next weekend, I ended up buying one from Scorpion.  I know they are more expensive (£70.00 more) but you really can see why they are more expensive.

When you compare the quality of the Scorpion bumper against the other one,   you can see why the Scorpion one costs more and its easy to justify the additional outlay.
