Thank you!
You are welcome. If you really want to look different or have them same color, you can paint the ones you have. there are few people in here that did it, if you look around you can find pictures. There is one thread for example:

You need to find a very good shop though.

This is also my color too and love it. I have played with the idea of painting them then I realized that it looks quite nice how it is.
There are also some advantages:
The bumper is more flexible and has some room to play in comparison with the more stiffer M style.
If you scratch the front lip or damage it, you can replace it in no time. If you have an M bumper the process will be remove-paint-install.
The modular design is quite practical and more forgiving.
