Been offered a new front bumper (99/00MY type) for £140
Its used but in "A1" condition & will need re-painting.
Its just the skin (no fogs/indicators/orange wedges) but I can source all those from the BBS I guess - i have PIAA's anyway.
How easy is it to fit a new bumper ?
Just a case of removing a few screws or is there something I should take care with ?

Thanks

Ro.

I did mine.
The bumper uses the same mounting points, appart from the lower back edges by the wheel arches. Had to fix it to the stoneguards.
Also the brake ducts do not line up behind the bumper.
I bought it new from a Subaru main dealer for £180.00
Cheers Rob.
