[QUOTE="pollyp, post: 796744, member: 4527"] comparing the fitment of my old bumper vs a spare one [ATTACH type="full"]77098[/ATTACH] the spare bumper mount looks more original than my old ones which seems to be a poor copy part with a missing captive nut & bracing. the old mounts are also tapered by 1mm to fit deeper into the old bumper. so the spare white bracket mounts with a broader front section won't fit onto my old bumper :unsure: [ATTACH type="full"]77099[/ATTACH] ended up having to bend/squeeze the front parts more slimmer so that it can slot deeper into the bumper without fouling [ATTACH type="full"]77102[/ATTACH] so slotting the old bumper onto the car in it's relaxed state, it's very clear to see that the drivers side of the bumper it about 10mm too wide, so bolting the sides to the wings would often deform it out of shape. I suspect this might be a cheap poor quality copy-part [ATTACH type="full"]77100[/ATTACH] whereas this spare bumper (probably original oem) fit's much closer to the wings [ATTACH type="full"]77101[/ATTACH] later in spring I'll repair & paint this spare bumper [/QUOTE]
