personally i think that bumper is hideous, a standard one or a Si bumper would look far better

good luck with it

I understand some people run them to allow more space for big arse intercoolers but imho if you don't have to change it leave it as Ford intended. Cossie front's and Zetec S rears make me cringe

IMO - I think the bumper suits it mate, its all about making the car personnal and making a car look special in your own way.

The only thing I would do if were mine would be to loose the laguna splitter and then have the lower lip of the bumper painted satin black just to visually break up the larger lairy looking bumper.

Agree with it would look better if it had the lights in it too, looks too much without them compared to the rest if the car.

I like standard bumpers but with the recess smoothed out of it!!
