Hi ya Jim,

Looking at the pic i have seen, and also on another site he could produce it with the fog light holes.

The original bumper comes in two pieces the grey trim which cost about £250 as i have replaced this unfortunately due to some idiot hitting me when parked. The lower half, the t5r bit is about £130 quid unpainted with the holes pre-drilled and just screw attaches.

So therefore looking at the pics it should be a straight replacement. If like the early models you may have to cut the holes out yourself, as another dealer i used made a hash job when mine was delivered without. So causing me to dip into my pocket again a few years ago and replace it.

mark.

The spoiler is made to fit std front not an 'R' . Although you could purchase the lower std half and bolt the spoiler , not much point if you can get an r version , which apparently you cant because they are made in limited numbers . Thats only speculation though . I am planning to produce replica fronts , well im fiddling with it at the moment . There is nothing stopping you getting a std bumper and doing it - your r version will be nicely tucked up in the shed . s/h fronts are available - mine cost £40
