Do facelift bumpers fit a pre facelift car ok? Already got myself some crystal headlights. Just checking bumpers are a straight swap. Thanks.

 

yes mate i had a version4 and swapped it with a version6 ,what year is your car ?

 

Mines a 1998 uk turbo... Lookin at the 99 onwards bumper.

 

I had a pre facelift bumper on my 1997 car. Swapped it for a full facelift front end from a 2000 model. Mine already had the facelift bonnet so I kept mine but you'll need that as well, then the headlights, grille and front bumper are pretty much a straight swap. Think the brake cooling ducts underneath are different as well but I just screwed mine in with self tapping screws as they're not really overly important I dont think.

 

My car when I got it: (although having already fitted the full facelift grille)



And after I fitted the facelift bits:

 

Cheers for that. Got bonnet already too so only really the bumper I need to get. Are the grilles different?

 

Yeah, the 1.5 facelift which I think yours is will have a flat grille that's flush with the lights and a fine mesh, whereas the full facelift grille sticks out onto the bumper and has large hexagonal mesh. And IMO looks a lot better!
