So I've had a chance to try and tidy up the smoothed grille a little more so on has gone some high build primer, sadly this has reacted with some of the old paint.

I then fitted my painted slam panel which is nice and shiny

I then decided to drill the number plate recess for some air flow holes. Right PITA to do as the bumper is 3 times deeper than a normal hole saw. I've done 79mm holes as the plate can keep it covered if needed. I was tempted to do 6 holes but there really wouldn't of been alot left between the holes.

I've painted the inside of the bumper so it doesn't look so white through the holes and fitted a splitter finally. Got a GTi6 one second hand for £25 posted. Had to use a load of new M6 bolts and nylocks as the original clips are shit.

And a couple of finished photos.
