Are you serious?
First of all, it'll look sh*t.
Second, the bumper won't line up and there'll be clips along the side of the car which you'll need to take off. Which I'm pretty sure are bonded/screwed on so will leave a mess which means re-painting both full sides of the car.
I'm pretty sure the trip computer in my 200 is out by a bit aswell, mine is showing 24.5 mpg but it really doesn't seem to be using that much more fuel than my 172 did.
IMO, almost every part of it is awful. That front bumper doesn't fit worth a fook either.
But as a fellow petrolhead I can't help but respect you for putting that much time and effort into it, and it must feel good to stand back and see it finally finished and running.
At least you're old enough for places to quote, most places tell me to sod off on anything like a Megane until I'm 21.
Stranger than that, nowhere seems to want to quote me on an EP3 Civic Type R until I'm 21, yet the 172 and 200 they have no problem with, when they're pretty much both as fast...
Depending on how picky you are, you could get a decent bodyshop to do half the bumper, save you a bit of money. If you're going at the car with a machine polisher at any point though I wouldn't bother.
