Interested in strut bar and the light covers. What is circumference of the covers (I have PIAA installed with stock hardware on my red car). Who makes the strut bar?

The covers are the OEM ones that go over factory installed chrome driving lights, like on MC40s. No idea if it'll fit aftermarket. I think PIAA are larger, but not 100%. Also, note the chip on the edge. I never noticed it when installed, but its on the top half.
I dont know the brand of the strut brace, it was on my last car when I bought it. I'm pretty sure its the only carbon fiber strut bar (solid CF, not wrapped) for R53. Mini Mania used to sell it.
I'm heading to the post office today, I'll get a quote. Any idea what is usually the cheapest shipping from US to Ireland? I've only ever shipped internationally through ebay, and they handle the hard parts. Any advice?
Just a heads up, it doesn't include a filter, so you'll need to buy one separately. The old one was dirty. I recommend Amsoil.
Bumper pics.. Note the final image, you'll see the only blemish. Overall its in great shape appears to have been waxed/claybared. No sap, tar, ect.. Very smooth and clean bumper. You'll need to supply your own parking sensors and surrounds. $400, and I prefer a local sale.
Bumper condition update: I just clay barred and buffed the mark out of the left side of the bumper. 10 minutes of work and the bumper is now pristine, 10/10 condition.
Its got a very nice shine and very smooth feel (no sap, pitting or texture of any kind). Trim is very black and overall it looks like it rolled off the showroom floor.
I've been looking for a JCW airbox, but it's hard to justify when I get an Orranje Stealth for ~USD $110 (after you remove 20% VAT) plus shipping.
You should get that one then. Did you have a question or did you come here to heckle?
EDIT: It looks like thats just a stock S airbox modified to fit a K&N filter.. no flaps that open at 4500RPM, so not really the same thing at all. Why not just have a K&N filter without a box? Couldn't you just modify your own stock S airbox? This looks more like the Dinan design than JCW since there's no electric or vacuum hookups for the flaps. Some people like OEM JCW parts.
In any case, I think you're smart enough to understand why this discussion should be on another thread. When you sell something do you want me to give my .02 and say, "nice strut brace, but I don't see the point of spending $200 when there's a Chinese knockoff on ebay for $75.. "
