Going for the JCW rear bumper. So OEM yes...but not what I started with

I picked up a M7 splitter that isn't really made for my car. I've got a 2013 roadster with JCW exterior. After removing my front end, the metal crash bumper looked like a good mounting spot. So I purchased some stainless button head bolts. Then installed seven nut serts in the metal bumper and three in the support under the intercooler. When it's done the frt end and splitter should be an easy on and easy off, with just unscrewing from the bottom of the car. Will not have to reuse the bag of plastic clips that used to hold it all together. It should be done today. I'll post some pics when done.

The R112 still look good unmounted , look better with the JCW suspension poking through them. Looking good.
