You can still see the hatch for the tow link or whatever its called. It looks to me more like they took a normal bumper and extended it slightly so they could fit a grille over the whole front. Very strange.

The link Tarquin posted is a complete new bumper, with a tow hook cover.

Damn those crafty Russians...

I like the look, but definitely in the cbf pile for me :)

If all centre bar remains intact that may be OK.

If not then Jake is correct.
If you try to remove centre safety bumper it will be illegal without engineering approvals and even that may be impossible if it no longer meets ADR regs.

As Matt said, in that case more cost/trouble than its worth.

I might have missed something here, but if all u really need to do is remove the plastic cover of the front bar and putting a new grille over the safety and structural part of that front bar.
Would it really be that costly?
