Default S-line front bumper vs Regular

I just realized there is a very slight difference in the front bumpers, but I always thought that the S-line should be a notch ahead in terms of aesthetics since you're paying more for the package. However, for the Q7 4M, I am slightly disappointed at the fact the regular Q7's have the chrome fascia's resembling the "S" models meanwhile the S-line models have just the black honeycomb on the back and a "simple" design for the front. I actually prefer the non-S front bumper as it has the spoiler in the brushed aluminum. Now here's my question:

Are the S-line front bumpers (without the brushed aluminum skid-plate/spoiler) "lower" than the regular bumpers?

"Regular bumper"

In those pics the regular looks more agressive which is strange, typically the S-line should be sportier and have more detail. The Q8 S-line bumpers for instance look much better than the non S-line.

I think the viewing angle and the background colors and shadows have an effect on how we perceive them.

I agree, in person I would be surprised if the non S-line looked better.

Does anyone have a picture of just the slats part of the center grill in gloss black/black? I'm wondering if that will change the appearance to look more aggressive. I have the Glacier white combo and I find the contrast between the white and aluminum isn't the greatest. I also wasn't a fan of the black optics either (panda) look. Would honestly prefer a look like this but no idea where that lip is from. I like the brushed silver mirror caps and silver grills in this colorway because it resembles the "S" models.
