Looks good. I wonder if it will work on a 2015 which has different side skirts as well. Or was yours an older model and now if just looks like a 2016+?

It should work fine. They haven't changed much in between models and years. The svr side skirts will definitely fit. I can go check on topix for you to see if any of the fender bolt points have changed but I highly doubt it.

If so, did you notice any difference with less brake temp overheating? Guess it depends on what brake package you have fitted to your R...

I haven't swapped out the front bumper to the SVR version as you can see in the photo. I've been on the fence about this change. I quite like the non-SVR bumper, the lines match the car better, but the SVR bumper does have an more aggressive edge. So no, right now they are still blanks in my grill.

Does anyone know the best place to buy the SVR front bumper? I've been considering getting it but still undecided. Thank you.

It's the best I've seen accessible to mere humans like myself. Shipping for the bumper though might remove all the discount offered by them. I ended up not purchasing the SVR rockers through them because the shipping cost essentially negated the savings. make it it not worth it to purchase from them. I ended up just going through my local dealer parts department, for the rockers, and the dealer was nice enough to sell me parts at wholesale cost. Shipping is free via the dealer.

Might be of interest but I've just fitted an SVR front bumper onto an S.
Not the hardest mod, but a few catches. Needs SVR undertray, loom modded to extend for outer parking sensors and some fettling of the aux rad cowl.
Happy to post more info if folks want it, but all bits needed can be picked up from a main dealers, although I sourced the bumper online.
Added to the colour coded '400' series sill extensions I think it makes a worthwhile set of external cosmetic mods.

They are functional. The grille has a blanking plate behind it that covers around 3/4 of the area leaving a vertical vented strip at the outside edge.
However as i still have the standard wheel arch liner there is nowhere for it to vent to the brakes.
I'm sure the SVR would have trumpets to direct airflow across the void and out the liner towards the brakes.
