Hi all! I was just ebay-ing stuff and found this

and this

Just wondering are these genuine parts? I have never seen
a pre-facelift bumper with those "air-intakes" before.
This is my bumper :

It think those holes would be a nice mod...

I meant the holes in the center, not the holes for the fog lights. I don't have a better pic now to show you but my bumber doesn't have neither the holes for the fog lights, neither the holes in the center.

As Chris said, the extra holes in the center of the second bumper are intended to improve air-flow through the oil cooler on 3 litre engined cars.

Strange that it wouldnt have the holes for the fog lights on that one....
