Looks good UF! I really like the shaving of the badge from the bonnet, smoothes the front out and makes it look very clean! Where did you get the work done? It's something I'd like to get done eventually.
Also, is your number plate bracket a DIY job? It looks really good and I want to mount my plate there so again on the 'to do list'.
I like the blending of the lip but clobbered minea while back and found it useful to be able to remove the lip and get it sprayed as I could still use the car while the work was being done.
I'll have to check it out at the meet later

As for clobbering, I never drive into a space so i'm hoping that will save it and as i'm not 'scraping the weeds' with the ride height, I figure I should be ok

That looks really great, blended nicely. I'd love to do the same with mine at some point. Did you need the screws through it to get it the lip to sit flush with the bumper? Also I notice on the direct front facing photo, there are some red bits hanging a little underneith, is just just a case of more screws/clips?

Ahh those hanging bits - that's actually the trailing edge of the spoiler - not visible unless you look at a very low angle and it's not a straight edge either. I used captive spiked flat nuts and countersunk hex bolts to fix the spoiler to the bumper so that it couldn't move. Once I was happy with that, I took it to the bodyshop and let them deal with the finishing and painting

Bodyshop has done a good job on that, the blend looks spot on. 
Only thing that ruins it now is that number plate (kind of looks like your S has two goofy front teeth). But to be fair, number plates ruin all cars.
