Looks gash IMO.

After careful consideration and running one for a bit de-badge grilles also look gash.  Single light, late OEM grille FTW.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

get it painted and soldier on! but as chris said, need other mods to compliment it, imagine it sitting a cm off the floor and it would look bad ass! if you decide you dont want it and fancy selling up, pm me! until then stop dilly dallying and get the rattle cans out!

Looks hideous to me! the top of headlamps need to be no more than 20mm off the edge of the bonnet, that would then leave larger gaps from the top of the bumper, to the bottom of the headlamps! so unless you could lift the bumper to fill the gaps, then it will always look out of proportion...
just my opinion

its finnished and i hate it, egay could be beconing




the bumper may not look right, thas because its balancing there, i reversed down the curb and completely ripped it off the car, broke every clip on the bumper so thats now for the bin, unless i can find a way of fixing it back onto the metal bracket

looks a lot better than what it did to start with

You could always take it slightly further and split the headlights and paint part of the insides black or maybe look into lamin-x
