Thanks for the replies. The bumper is genuine BMW from ebay, I have the sides in my garage at the moment not painted yet. The rear bumper and diffuser should arrive tomorrow, I will get the rear on before going back to work next week. I cant believe the difference in the look of the car... 
I did have to put some elbow grease in to fixing the bumper, removing scratches and repairing a minor split + some painting.
Ps. The best advice i would give anyone wanting to do this would be to buy the full kit rather than bits here and there, Mstyle in the uk sell the genuine kit for ?795 inc vat obviously delivery is about an extra ?150.

I remember you posted last week that the Wifey is going to kill you for buying the kit. How did that work out? Did you take my advice by hiding the kit installed on your car? Hehe.
