Will the facelift front bumper fit the pre-facelift model?

[thicknickdjn]

I think i've just dropped a huge clanger, i've bought this:

from ebay, but my car is the pre-facelift, I thought i had read somewhere that you can easily mod the bumper to fit, but looking at it, I just can't see how! It's a totally different shape!

Does anyone know if it's possible? If not, does anyone want to buy it?


Thanks!

no way m8 but it will if you change the rest of the front panels

and that belongs to a member called matt

That's what I thought, new front wings, new bonnet, and new grille (where the badge is) would be required i'm guessing?

Probably not all that costly from a breakers yard actually, might be worth it!

i have just facelifted mine m8 and you will need to change the front panel and can cost up to £1500 but if your not in a rush you can get the parts off ebay when it comes up

[thicknickdjn]

When you say front panel, do you mean the part that the bumper actually fixes onto?

Slam panel where the bonnet closes and the headlights of course
