Default Can you put an XFR-S front bumper on a '13 XFR?

Does anyone know if the OEM XFR-S front bumper can be plug and play retrofitted in place of a '13 XFR front bumper? My front bumper needs to be replaced due to a deer (damn Bambi!). I prefer the more aggressive look of the XFR-S bumper, so if it's a plug/play direct fit, then would love to do that. Anyone in the know?

Should be able to. I swapped a 2011 XFR bumper in place of my 09 Supercharged bumper. There are quite a few parts that you will need to buy though. The grills, grill surrounds, lower splash shield, oil cooler ducting, etc. It is probably less of a hassle going from the XFR to the XFR-S.

Well, apparently it's a moot point.

Jaguar dealers (at least my local one) won't sell you XFR-S parts without proof that you own one (ie an XFR-S VIN #).

Bummer.

I know this is not OEM quality, but if it's painted properly and fits well. No one can tell the difference.

Wow, they seemed to have done a decent job on the reproduction.

Here it is cheaper without the rear section: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Jaguar-XF-12...3D400910639224

Has anyone tried these bumpers out? I am skeptical about fitment and overall quality of the parts.
