This actually turned out really good considering it's aftermarket and not one of the big name companies (Brabus, Rieger, Carlsson, Lorinser). I like it.

Huh? I can see minor gapping between the bumper and the headlights/parking lights but that's a tough part to get perfect fitment. Hood and front fender fitment is spot-on though.

I dunno, but in this pic, the bumper looks swollen. I guess I'm not hip to how aftermarket W208 bumpers are supposed to fit. I would never be happy/settle with a fitment like that. Just my 2 cents.

I guess I'm just comparing to past aftermarket front bumper replacements I've seen on here; because compared to these past fittings, this one looks really decent.

Not sure what you mean by swollen...like bulging out in places? I don't know the quality of the PU or FRP or whatever material this is made out of, but I was just referencing where the bumper meets the rest of the body of the car.

Yea, like it's about to fall off. I guess I just haven't seen enough aftermarket 208 bumpers to know who they should fit.

How about them side profile pics Jbenz?
I still think the bumper will look alot better and compliment the car if the bottom vents were filled. Fitment could be a tad better but its ok. I have seen horrible fitment on bumpers, trust me I bought one before this one def isnt bad.

congrats jbenz! finally get to see your bumper painted. I think it looks good esp for an aftermarket company. As long as you're happy tahts all that matters. have you considered putting the oem grill to see how it looks with this bumper, i bet the oem chrome grill will go with your chrome rims, headlights and fogs very very well. Do you plan on lowering it?i think a drop will make your look complete. i hope youre enjoying your bumper as much as i was.. til i blew out my rear passenger tire a few days ago..
