I quite like the bumper but I don't like the bad boy bonnet adaptation and that grill looks awfull. I am only looking to change my bumpers as they are both battered on my car from the people who had it before me.

Chrisgixer has it right, it looks crap and will wipe itself out on the first hump it hits.
Re the pic...If beauty is supposed to be in the eye of the beholder I wish I was blind! That is a bridge way too far for a car as classic as the mig...

After market goods are generally not of the same high quality as the OEM ones. However they are now used in all insurance repairs as the cheaper option.
As they are purely cosmetic and are supported by a filler from its rear it is in my view an acceptable method because the end result is just as good in appearance.
The prefacelift and facelift models are radically different and are not interchangable.
Hope that helps.  :y
