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...

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

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.

If we're on the subject of life treating us well (Sarcasm)... I managed to pick up a Penalty notice in a car park today, when closing the boot lid, the pressure must have blown my parking ticket over hiding the date and time. Now i have a fine to pay
