EDIT...

From what I've found, it was from a concept of the GXP from 2002. I wish they would have kept this bumper, it looks great!

that would be an epic bumper and easy to fabricate if it wasn't for the fact that the bumper on an ssei/sle is pointed front nose where the se/gxp is not I would love to take the grill of an ssei and put it on my se

Given a SEMA-style makeover, the Bonneville G/XP features clean-shaven body, toned-down front fascia, and a full round of performance enhancements. More than just showcasing a freshened future appearance, the G/XP represents a potential sport model to top the Bonneville range. The Chicago concept achieved 270 horsepower through a combination K&N air intake, Corsa Performance cat-back exhaust, and increased supercharger boost. Package the more potent powertrain with a lower ride height, 19-inch wheels, cross-drilled brakes, subtle styling mods, and a few interior tweaks, the G/XP makes a significant step beyond the SSEi.

To be Honest I really liked the front bumper and door trim better on the the SLE's SSEi's then the GXP's more aggressive dynamic and bad ass looking.

I really like that first concept picture.
It is more unique, and the recessed grills look bad ass.

Basically it's an SSEi bumper with the fog lights moved to where they should be!

That GXPSSEi front bumper looks AWESOME!

The concept looks so good too. Shame they didn't make it a proper performance car and put the drive wheels in the right place.

There's a picture somewhere of the whole GXP line up with the GA, GP, Vibe, Bonne, and I think one other car.. Sunfire maybe? They all looked great but the end result was the same. Ambitious... But rubbish.

I'm having one of those nights where I'm mad about Pontiac being gone. XD
