Chrome trim rings would look good and you can get the lower grills painted in a chrome/clear. I believe the factory grill is chromed plastic. At least it looks like it.
Just got my xlcusive bumper and have yet to unwrap. Was a bit of a hassle and an unexpected $600 in fees out of pocket, to retrieve it from the port (on top of the 300 pounds shipping).
My body shop guy is telling me how difficult bentley bumpers are and so forth, so will have to line up a more honest one. Will post some pics.
Thanks. Yea I'm looking into getting the chrome lower grills as soon as I get time. Don't see how these could be painted to look chrome unless I'm in the past on some new technics lol

Hey TJ is that an aftermarket bumper? i was thinking of getting this one just scared of fitment.
Does the cgt Bumper fit a spur? Also is your stock bumper ok? I need a bumper.
No, this is an OEM I bought off of Scuderia. My old bumper was trashed. I too was in that same boat on buying aftermarket and after reading a lot of reviews from companies overseas, and even from that one in New York I though it would be best to stick with OEM. If you get one and it do not come with the PDC sensor holders and gaskets, hit me up, I’ll sell you the ones I bought from Scuderia but didn’t use cheap.

im in NY so I might just get the stock style bumper or that one in queens. I am just scared on the quality.
If not just the stock fs bumper from scuderia. Unless someone on the board has one.

Oh your in NY, I’m sure it’s plenty of body shops out there that can take of your needs if you buy aftermarket. But do plenty of homework if you do. Good luck

Hello Sam,
As far as the $600 in extra fees, would you please explain as to who charged those fees, and for what, so others may not hopefully have the same issue in the future if avoidable.
I had my bumper and other items (in 1 box) shipped from the UK via DHL Global Forwarding, it was to be door to door as per the quote from DHL rep at a cost of $534.36, with no other fees, I verified this in emails and phone calls with the Rep, however, there was some issue when it came time for delivery to my door, the same woman from DHL who had set everything up for said door to door pricing/shipping then later claimed that it would be an additional $300 to bring it to my door, well that did not go over well, first it was the $534.36 was for shipping, then she claimed it was for brokerage cost without any shipping fee yet, then she said "Hi John, Okay, so the pricing agreement is for the brokerage part, not the shipping fees. There was no brokerage fees quoted with the shipment, please take a look at this and let us know.", If that isn't a twisted statement I don't know what is, so it finally came clear that she had fouled up the information as to the fees, the $534.36 was for the shipping and was to include brokerage/customs fees and shipment to my door, so her error was in the customs fee which now she wanted an additional $300.00, so I found out that I could import the package myself if it was under $1800.00 IIRC, so I went to the Customs office in Philly and took care of it myself for $0.00, I then headed over to the DHL HUB/warehouse in Sharon Hill, PA. and picked up my package free of charge.
As to the $524.36 charge, well as per the quote I was going to deduct $204.00 for the shipment from Philly to my door, but then the same rep emailed me now claiming the total bill was down to $377.85, then a higher up stepped in and made the amount $0.00, as it took DHL 30 days just to pick up the package from the seller, I must say, this was and is the only time I had this issue with DHL to date, the truth is DHL UK blamed it on the seller not being available on a few occasions, and the seller blaming DHL for never showing up for pickup until the 30TH day, who knows...
To get my package released, had to pay for terminal fees, etc, which totaled $275, a customs broker $265, and an additional $45 fee at the window to pick up the parts, which was a ‘window fee’. The 1st two fees were a bank transfer and the 3rd window fee by credit card only. The 1st two fees were to Troy Container Line Inc, and the last was to the warehouse in Newark. Exclusive only paid the 'freight.' I suspect I could have saved the $265 and done it myself.
This was on top of the 300 pounds ($375 USD) shipping paid to the seller.
Thankfully the euro license plate shape is not forced and a separate part. Also came with two little blocks for mounting the 5th and 6th parking sensors in the grills below. No standoffs on the back, but suggested areas to install. Thinking I'll do a test fit tomorrow and see what type of body work I'm in for to get it to look not like a kit!

Looks good! Hope it all works out for you. How do the corners look to to? Are they defined like they should be or maybe a small amount o work to get them to line up with the wheel arch?
One corner looks good and the other appears to have been over sanded just a tiny a bit on the lip that continues onto the fender, so will have to be squared back up.
The trim for the bottom lip and the large upper holes appear to be removeable parts, so will make getting a different color paint or wrap easier.
Unfortunately, I never got around to the install, but have made that a goal for myself to get it done this spring before the end of April. (Was targeting my local Britfest, in Succasunna, but that's been pushed to September)
I got as far as ordering some stainless steel grids/screens for the lower vents and lining up a body shop that does Bentley paint, but put off the project due to other priorities. Now that I've got time again, I'm dedicated to getting this done.
My next steps are to install the innner mesh and test fit the bumper, then get it finished/prepped/painted. Will have to either do a front sidelight delete or have them sculpt something in. Haven't decided yet.
Will post updates and thanks for the prod. I need it!
Finally got around to this. Replaced passenger fender and a quick test fit with 3 bolts under hood holding it in place. Should line up better when the remaining fasteners are done up. Next, need to transfer over the wiring harness and parking sensors and install some grill inserts before sending for paint.
