Test Fitted the Brabus Bumper

So I tried on the Brabus bumper today, just to see how it fits. I am still waiting until after my bags to paint it, but I was just getting excited to see it on the car. It needs minor modification to the sides (they curve in), but other than that, it's awesome. Keep in mind, I didn't fully tighten it, I just wanted an idea of how it would look. Two quick questions, comments:

1. Should I paint it two tone like the car, or just the single color (I plan on painting the chrome strips the color of the moldings)?

2. I want to keep my thermostat, can I buy a driver side tow hook cover with a piece to hold the thermo like on my updated bumper (I am not sure how it works on preupdate cars). Thanks!

3. I will be getting Hella 450 series fogs...would these look awkward with my crystal headlights?

THANKS AGAIN JASON!

woah the fitment looks awesome

I would go with a mono-tone setup, but keep the chrome trim to match the rim.

I saw your car at the Irvine Meet. It's one of the best looking W202 I have ever seen. The VIP look is beginning to grow on me.

OCK, that's an sharp looking 202 you have there.

IMO, don't go two-tone, a solid paint job looks sharper.
