Default Looking into new bumper, Need Help Deciding

as the title says im looking into getting a new front bumper, mine had a bit of body work done to it, and i have a few other reasons.
basically i just want to change it.

so i am asking you guys/girls out here which bumper they would choose.

S3 or A3 S-Line

**already have the blacked out grille, so if i went s-line it would cost me less.

more or less just seeing what peoples opinions are

S3 bumper requires you to cut off pieces in the re-bar. Just so that you know.

S3 looks way better i got mine installed and i bought a new rebar with it, but i bought mine along time ago, when the prices were lower now all the prices have jacked up since then.

ya, its a really nice set up.
is there a way to use the regular grille? i just got the blackout one and it seems like such a waste to go and buy a new blackout grille for the s3 bumper.

s3 grill is a different size from the sline black out grill and you will need the s3 one for it to fit in the bumper that is from the experience i have had when i looked at the size difference.
