That should be in another section like performance or something like that and I guess it can also be done.

Looks awesome! What changes were required to make the Mazdaspeed Rear fit the Series 2 Bumper?

Regardless "S2 Rear Bodywork Swap onto an S1" could have also been done and would have made more sense
