Just installed S font bumper! Tell me what you think

I purchased this bumper from local NAM member Twister. The instal was pretty straight forward. The only problem i ran into was the fog lights where located in different spots on the two different bumpers. But i found out how to relocate the mounting and it was all good. you can see the orignal mounting and i moved all three of them to the ones just right of each and it lined up perfect. Im debating if i should put the Euro plate back on or not... Next on the list is the M7 front splitter.
sorry about no organization with pics, im not that good at posting them yet.

The bumper looks awesome! The light bar looks sweet too!

All you need is another bar on the lower grille and you could light up a baseball field!

Looks very nice!! The more I see Coopers with the Aero grill, the more I'm tempted to do it myself...

I agree. No reason to mess up the MINI's gorgeous front end with a big unnecessary metal plate.
