325i to M3 Bumper Swap

I couldn't pass this one up! Got an aftermarket GERMAN M3 bumper for $250 from a local classifieds listing (nice compared to cheap ebay shiz is $299 + $100 shipping). Took me about 3 hours to do the swap. That black bumper just didn't do it for me.

Actually, it's just the fiberglass sealant... matches the orig paint pretty good! I'm still trying to find a rear bumper, then I'll have them both painted.

80 euros, isn't that about $200 or so, almost what Nismo paid for his bumper? I'm probably wrong...what's the exchange rate again?
