Bit of a tentative one, but a car I'm looking at has the M Aerodynamic pack fitted and I don't personally like the front bumper so figured it might be worth getting an idea of what interest there is if I get the car and decide to sell the bumper to go back to factory?

Hi, just fitted one of these myself - the only issue you might have is that when fitting you're meant to bond the M Perf splitter to the original bumper.

Excuse my ignorance... Is the aero kit a whole new bumper or a "face" over the original bumper?

It's a splitter really.

Useful for disguising lower edge damage like a great big sticking plaster.

Ahhhh so I should just be able to get my body shop to strip it back down if I don't like it? Be a bit cheaper to do that and restore than buy a replacement bumper... About £375! I might feel better once I see it in the metal, but from the pics I'm not really sold.

Unfortunately though the original buyer hasn't Alex's the 405m which I'd have loved to have kept!

Find someone with the same colour car who wants it and do a swap? What colour is the proposed car?

No idea, library photo.

Have a look on Realoem, then get a quote from Cotswold.

I spoke too soon, I just managed to mangle my front M Performance spoiler on a slightly sloped cobbled road outside my sisters. Needless to say, it's being removed so I can actually drive my car places! This is on std suspension too, so I don't see how it's possible to drive anywhere with this thing with springs installed!

Live and learn.. only money! :(
