Default WHich one is better
I just noticed that Blitz has two different front bumpers for my car, I always thought is the same one cos' they look almost the same except one has a biggger hole . Which one do you guys think looks better??? bigger or smaller??

from a functionality standpoint, I would say get the one with the bigger hole. The more air that gets to your intercooler the better!!

Smaller--it looks cleaner. The top of the central opening aligns w/ the top of the fogs. However, from a functional standpoint, yes, bigger one will obviously have better cooling.

I don't have an intercooler

I'd have to go with the smaller opening.

If I were in your situation, I'd go with the bigger opening for function and to show off my intercooler!

I like the 'fuller' bumper look so I pick the smaller opening.
