US Spec rear bumpers
« on: June 19, 2010, 10:24:28 am »
Some time ago the wife reveresed into a large white bolder which left a graze on the rear bumper lower section. It  hasn't removed the paint but it isn't going to polish out, I have been offered a US spec rear bumper in the same colour as my car and before I commit to buy it I wondered if these are a straight swap :confused:

I believe they are a straight fit however if  i am right you may have issues with your numberplate. You may have to change it to the us style one depending on how many chracters you have in your numberplate

It is a straight swap over, I've done this on my car and it's very easy to change over. You will need to get a shortened number plate.
