Some a$$ drove into my cefiro this weekend, while it was parked. The hit was only low speed, so there isn't as much damage as there potentially could have been.... the rear passenger side wheelarch has been scraped slightly breaking the rear bumper and leaving small indentations.

The bodywork and paint is easy to fix. However I've been given a replacement bumper and sideskirts - free of charge. The rear bumper/bar is B-wave style as below....

Anyway - the dilemma that I now have is what do I do about the front-end? I don't want to leave it standard, and I don't particularly like the B-wave front [as shown below], in fact I much prefer the TBO III [also shown below]..... but the problem is that the B-wave and TBO probably wouldn't make a good combination due to the different lines that they have.....

So here's the thing - at the moment I'm thinking doing some creative bodywork filling using either fiberglass or plastic bodyfiller.... I'm considering using the Bwave back end, filled to raise the indented lines to make the bumper completely level and smooth, and to fill the line around the TBO front - also making it smooth. Maybe by having both bumpers smoothed they would appear like they are more of a matched pair?

Has anyone ever done or seen anything similar, or done anything else impressive by mixing and matching bodykit styles?

I know its a lot of work, but the end result could be something different enough from the norm to be unique..... or should I just bite the bullet and buy a matched pair of TBO front and back ends?

Come on people..... share opinions and inspire me!
