I think I'll have a go with the E500 bumper - it looks nice and is more vertical - more like an airdam - I suppose it's a good thing. Also it has nice openings for fog lights, which I think will be great for LED daytime driving lights. In Poland we have to use lights all year long 24h a day so 150W of bulbs opposed to few W of LEDs gives some savings...


Thanks for all the input. Keep it coming!
MaxMatt,sounds like you've well researched your options and that E500 rig will be a good compromise.The vertical form will shunt air around the car,which you see quite a bit now with current production cars.A good thing.
I really like your LED daytime driving light solution.Good 'world-view',thanks!
Question,are your speed limits still limited to around 130 km/h?
