you can get a 'copy' of this bumper cheapish tho the quality has been questioned along with company. don't own myself so i'll leave it there.
some of the north westerners have it, they let you know when they see the thread

hello, i am a north westener lol...
i have this on my car, as well as goldstar and ricardo...
tis a copy as diagnosed by the doctor...
cost was £120 for the bumper...
the rest of the kit is #### imo... get your self something off another car or custom i.e m3 skirts, ibiza splitter...
build quality is ok for the price, but mount work required, if desired...
guy is called Taz, nice guy but did have a word with him about his customer service skills... tbh he aint arsed bout customers...
but if you buy pre-order over phone give cash on collection... honestly best option... as his delivery times/conditions are appaling...
search forums for pics, ie meanmicra & ricardo swarez threads...

right then laddy...
when ready to fit:
1.remove bumper, screws in archs at bumper tips and along front under grill...
2.bumper off, take bumper brackets off front of car...
3.take tow hook off, screws on left and underneath...
4.remove vertical central peice, which runs from bonnet lock to cross member...
now you can re-use the actual bracket's and fibreglass them to it (need to cut down centre).
modify the vertical central piece to act as additional bracket.
you can also attach to crossmember as it meets here.
***the bumper does not come with anymounts but the work required is quite simple for bodywork guys, mine took 1/2aday to attach...***
mine is in place solid by using tree points of attachment...ricardo has had mount problems, he may advise other ways to attach...
hope this helps, i think its worth all the work...

RUSK, the reason i had the centre piece removed is that i used it as a bracket... read the post properly...
micra B that is a good idea, just make sure you know exactly how they put it on, as if its just the two screws on the side it wont hold...
need anymore help im glad to help, as i already have this on my car...

the way I would recomend fitting is
1. get the bumper and line it up with the cross member, then mark out were the vertical bar on the cross member would hit the bumper
2. cut the marked area out
3. then fit the bumper using the two side screws
4. the main hole in the bumper over laps the bottom area of the cross member, drill foor equaly spaced holes in a line through the bumper and through the cross member
5. screw the bumper to the cross member, then the bumper will be realy secure, even more so than you original bumper imo
