Hi Simon, welcome to MCUK .

It's straight forward changing the bumpers over... You'll need some new rear bumper fascia to ensure that your current exhaust fits. These parts are only plastic and fairly cheap from a dealer. They just clip in to place.

JCW wheels will fit without any problems.

When you can, post some pics of your car...

thank you
i will get some pictures took and get them on here also will i be able to get a jcw grille for mine

Yes, the top part fits fine. The bottom part will need some work to fit the standard bumper. A dremel may come in handy. Lohen used to offer a ready made kit, so it might be worth contacting them.

If you are going the grill route I'd recommend fitting the grill to the new bumper before fitting as the bumper needs to be off to remove the old grill and securely fit the new one.

Where abouts are you based?

Welcome to MCUK Simon, I hope you enjoy your stay here.

Hi Simon & welcome to MCUK

I fitted an Aerogrille onto my car a couple of months back & will echo what Sef says about fitting the bottom section. A dremel is a definite requirement & a lot easier to fit with the bumper off

Hi Simon,

I think the dremel is more for the new/replacement grill than the bumper itself - I think.
