Cool '06 250 front bumper upgrade to 2011 F-Sport?

What's going on CL? It's been awhile. I just moved and shipped my car to Honolulu. My car came with over $3300 worth of damage. The front bumper being some of the damage. I really like the cleanliness of the 2011 f sport front bumper compared to my 06 front bumper. Do you know if they match up with no problems? Does the grill need to be replaced? I know the fog lights would need to be upgraded as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was thinking of repainting the entire car a different color depending on the price of the paint job, but may leave the car black and have practically 75 percent of the car repainted due to the damage while upgrading certain things like the front bumper.

The Sewell conversion kit is applicable for the 09+ cars. His is 06 so it does not apply.

2011 F-Sport, not 2010.
  • F-Sport Bumper (I think it has more holes to fit the F-Sport lips?)
  • F-Sport lips (2 piece, L&R)
  • F-Sport grill
  • Grill Bezel
  • Bottom grill
  • Foglights
  • Foglight covers
  • Foglight wiring? (I'm having an issue with this),
  • Tow cover

I have parking sensors, and the old sensors doesn't fit without making a bigger hole, I broke my old sensors for a stupid reason. Old sensors are one piece, and the new ones are 2 piece (sensor + plastic cover). There are pieces on the sides of the lower grill, not exactly sure what it is, but I'm going to care about that later.

Yeah, i think i ran across the sewell kit online too, but didn't see that it pertained to '09s +. Glad you caught it. Guess I'll stay with the original bumper. I'll continue to research online. Appreciate it.

I don't like the exhaust tips of the ISF style
