question about JCW aero kit - rear bumper cover

Hello! I am wondering - has anyone installed a R56 JCW aero kit and kept the stock REAR bumper cover? I am not sure how I feel about the JCW rear bumper but am wondering how the JCW side sills would look with the stock bumper.

Pictures of this anyone?

does the dealer sell just individual pieces? I thought they only sold the whole kit, no?

you are correct, however I can save some $ on paint & labor if I go with the stock bumper cover. i can always sell the JCW rear or as a set at a later time

I've been able to piece parts together as I please / needed.
You don't need to purchase the entire kit if you don't want it.

were you able to get the pieces from the dealer or somewhere else? I've found a dealer that sells the entire kit for around $1410 which is much lower than anywhere else. my dealer is matching that price - i am doubtful that i would see that much of a discount if i were to buy the parts separately

Example: Each R56 JCW side skirt (#1), with the adapter (#2), and inlays (#3 + #4) cost about = ~$345; which means just under $700 for the unpainted pair.

That's straight from the dealer; it's the easiest when pulling part numbers.
