How did you break clips on the front bumper? It is an EASY removal and replace. I swaped my S bumper for a JCW and there were no broken clips.

Looks better with the S bumper and grill work. GREAT work!

The ones between the Fender as you call it and the bumper couldn't shift them so had to adjust them slightly

Did your upper "cooper" grille fit with the S bumper? I know the lower trim piece is different but not sure about the upper grille itself.
