Daddy has his euro bumper on finally!
Just a few pics of the euro bumper I got on ebay. Not sure how well the pics will post but we'll see.

Great improvement. The euro bumpers look much cleaner then the rubber pads on the US version ever could.
You need some lower profile tires though, it looks like you have enough ground clearance to match some of SUVs.

Thanks everyone! Here is another pic as requested. I agree the rear seems high. It is very stiff even with the stock 215/60/15 rubber. I think it would be too stiff for my needs with thinner tires. Maybe my ride height needs to be adjusted. More soon.

Looks great! I just put mine on about a month ago, but haven't gotten around to posting any pics yet.
I got really lucky on mine, my car has its original white paint, and the guy I get my euro parts from in the UK was parting out his alpine white car so the bumper matched perfectly and saved me from having to get it painted.

Thanks all. I paid around 180.00 us delivered from the UK. I was lucky and got a black one so no painting for me. I had to turn my rear valence from red to black but no big deal. As to snubbing; one of the reasons for the new rear bumper was a collapsed bumper shock. It made NOISE over bumps. I figure two loose shocks in the front aint gonna sound any better. I will be looking out for a euro front bumper tho. And the finish on the fuchs is NO finish. I use that nasty acid cleaner and they are just raw aluminum, clean but raw.
