As per title i recall there are some difference with support bars or such like with 99 spec front bumpers over earlier variety...
Now mine had a 99 stylee one on before but i\'m not sure how well it was mounted & anyway getting another after my mishap of an aftermarket nature, does it vary from supplier to supplier as to how it should/can/will be fitted?
Please give any tips on fitting, issues potential or otherwise as i want to know the full SP so bodyshop haven\'t got any excuses why i wont have it by rotorstock & such like, as they will want to ensure it fits perfectly which is a good thing on the quality front but not if it delays the ETA substancially............
So thoughts, knowledge or otherwise bring it on please.....?
Cheers

Hi Si
Have fitted a 99 spec to mine, the only differneces i could determine were,
indicator recess in bumper support have to be cut too match never shape
the center support plastic bracket is different but really does not offer too much support anyway
they mount in the same position and fixings on the wings and front edge by the bonnet.
So in my opinion, just needs the indicator recess cut too allow for newer shape.
Hope that helps.
