Default Finally done!

hi guys, after waiting for a month, so finally I got my 2011 f-sport bumper installed today, I was run into few problem, but took care of it, the first problem was received the cracked bumper from Sewell (maybe it got damage during transit?) but anyway Darrel took care of that, the second problem was the parking sensor holes, the newer model IS use smaller sensors? so the holes are smaller than the sensors from 06-08, as you can see the pics below, the third problem was the gap as the duct air intake for the brakes, I tried everything to make it fit without gap there? but no luck it is a big gap like about 3 inches? ( maybe someone can help me with this) and last thing that they didn't send me the hook cover, maybe it was on the cracked bumper that I sent it back to Sewell?, but hope they could find it and ship it to me, now I drive my car without the hook cover and also on the f-sport package didn't mention about the front grill L logo, so no logo there for now
this is how I file the sensors holes just a little bigger to fit me 07 sensors

this is how it look when the sensor is on the bumper

thanks guys, now I wonder would the 2011 duct air intake fit on my 07? I just want to fill the gap there, as you guys look at the last pic, I took that pic from the top view so you could see the gap there, lucky thing my car is black so it hard to see, but it there
