Default Front Bumper Mash-Up

Well another OEM SC430 front bumper has been ordered so theres no question is going to happen.. Ive done a few quick non-professional edits with M3 and MB bumpers... I want something classy and somewhat sporty. After messing around for a while I decided I like this the best... using a MB S65 AMG front bumper.. whole kit (including mesh grilles and LEDs lights is $650 just for the MB bumper not including the SC bumper just ordered. Anyone done a mashup on an SC or any other model and have some insight? Heres my best vision that flows best IMHO

You gotta remember the newer MB bumper has a point in the front and may not flow well with a much bubbly SC.

Yours is frankensteined too? Though it migtve been an aftermarket bumper. I know your car very well, it is too dope! And yea I know the MB fronts are pointy, so that was my only concern too. What did you use for your mash? It looks perfect!!! Not goig to copy you as I want something unique aswell but for reference as what years/makes have a sportier front end more fitting to the roundness of the SC430 front end. Thanks in advance and again... best SC in the US hands down. Sorry everyone else haha

Oh god! I don't know how I feel about that haha, its a great photoshop job though

So after much decisions and hours on Gran Turismo looking at front ends and comparing the lines and what would fit and flow best I found just like IcePinky that Jaguars flow some of the best, I didn't want to copy his style so I ordered a 09' Jaguar XF front bumper which is pretty different from his and will also be doing the OEM chrome strips but with built-in LEDs. Already received a brand new OEM SC430 front bumper and should be receiving the OEM jaguar in the next few days. Will post pics when started! Thanks IcePinky for the inspiration! Been knowing your car for a while now very nice

I was going to pick this up as well but was too late and I don't even have an SC yet.

Yes, by far one of the nicest SC430 in the states.
