Default New bumper fitted today

Before:


I got my new bumper a couple of weeks ago but had to get it sprayed and only just got round to fitting it today.
Much easier than expected.

I was going to order some bumper plugs to fill the holes in the front of the bumper but decided they were a bit too pricey.
I still had some touch-up paint left from when I sorted out a big paint chip earlier in the year so I paid a quick visit to Hellfrauds (I was after a few other odds and ends anyway) and got myself some blanking grommets which were

Looks like a good colour match. Did the spray shop mask the top horizontal bar and not the bottom?

How did the DIY brake job go?

The top bar is separate from the bumper. I took that piece from my old one as a new one didn't come with the new bumper. It just screws onto the new one.

The brake job went swimmingly thanks. Dead easy as most of you said.

When I first fitted it I thought it didn't seem to match but I think it might have been just because I knew it was a different bumper that I could pick up on it.

It needs a good wash before I'll be able to tell properly. Although it doesn't look like it does in the photo.
