By Bumper Insert, you mean the original OEM JCW Rear Bumper Diffuser, right? So you had to cut it to fit the Challenge Diffuser in heh?

For some reason, I would expect that the Challenge Diffuser Kit would come with an already cut piece for you to paint...guess not...

But wow it looks nice! Now you just need to get the Challenge Spoiler to finish off the look!

Looks damn good! I was going to ask about that center piece between the diffusers on the bumper but I saw your post mentioning that it was custom made. Not sure why they don't include it with the kit since that's how they fit it on the Challenge car.

I'm adding these someday when I'm done with the engine mods.

On a side note – I ordered that same vanity tag a month ago.
DMV reports I’ll have it sometime between two weeks from now and Christmas

Damn that's great. Thanks for posting this. Has anyone purchase from here in the states? And if so can you post pics to see how the front splitter looks. Thanks
