02 CLK430 Front Bumper Review Help

I ran across this web site offering front bumpers for my clk430. Could I get some insight as to the quality and feasibility of installing one of these bumpers. I have had to replace bumpers twice on my car at 1200 per replacement. Below is the web site link for the bumpers and attached pics:

I just wonder if thats a euro liscense plate bracket, or if the bumper is made for euro liscense plates. If it was just a bracket I'd buy one of the AMG style bumpers at that price! Let me know if you can find out more about them.

Yeah I know what you mean. Well the bodyshop still working on the bumper they need to make themselfs new brackets and figure out a way to bring the bumper a little higher so it will fit perfect, then they gonna fix some little dens in the door and have the whole car painted, I will post some pictures once i get it i think the car wont be ready untill friday.
