    Default To Manta, or not to Manta?

    I got a second hand front bumper from the wreckers that had fog light spaces in them and it also had a Manta (or HBD or whatever you want to call it) bottom lip on it. I have an s-pack and was thinking of just transferring my s-pack lip on to it but it doesn't quite attach the same way that the Manta one does. It needs to get sprayed the correct colour anyway, so do you think that the panel beaters can attach it for me? Thing is, my s-pack lip attaches to the bumper with tabs that go through the bumper and screw in behind it. The Manta lip simply screws on with no tabs going through the bumper. So to fit mine they would have to cut holes...
    So do I keep the Manta lip on it? Would it be try-hard if I did leave it on?
    Thoughts please...
