Default S40 Front Bumper Advice

Hi guys, so i have just purchased a 2006 S40 Sport, really happy with it but not so happy with the look of my front bumper.
Can anyone advise what options i have to make the front of the car look more balanced with the rest of the car?
I have attached a picture if it works.....

My current bumper has a black area at the bottom, i was thinking of just getting it painted to match the car but i still think it doesn't look aggressive enough.

Any advice for options would be great.

Thanks

Front lip spoiler as fitted to 'sport' models and available as either 2nd hand genuine (occasionally) or after-market from ebay will sort you out. I purchased one in link below and can recommend;

Combined with a mesh grill transformed look of my front end.






Car looking like it's on stilts in these photos! Since been lowered.

Thanks for the info, will get one ordered and post the pics later.
I did see a R-Design bumper on ebay but i have read that they will not fit?
Anyone have any experience fitting one to a 2006 s40?
Thanks
