cut the corners of what bracket? the ones I fitted 3 times now were just a straight bolt on job, super s bumpers are just deeper than standard the top section of the bumper is exactly the same as a standard one.

Regular pods won't be able to host foglight, you need to have the pod like the one on the right of the picture (even if there is written SR on the left one, those are regular):
Kennie I think you already had the Super S pods on you car, they are able to host regular bumpers and Super S bumpers, but regular pods can only host regular bumpers.
I've noticed that some K11 with painted regular bumpers and lot of options already had Super S brackets, but K11 with plastic bumpers and no options only had regular pods, maybe Nissan thought that people buying low cost Micra would never fit a Super S bumpers, like they did for the poor loom wiring of low cost models.
Who could guess that in 2011 some crazy people like us would want to do such things

I fitted it to the micra shape r reg bog standard, and the super s bumpers I remember had no brackets with them so I just used what I had, maybe I was lucky who knows but if you do have to cut or grind corner its no biggy it would take all of 2 mins

Thanks guys its more clearer now, as i aint sure whats lurking behind my bumper and bear in mind it was only an L model bog bloody standard that a granny would only drive for what its worth and for what ive done to it i dont think i would take a chance wasting time taking the front bumper off to only find that the brackets are a no go then re-fitting it all back again, so i reckon getting hold of named bumper brackets for the bumpers are the way to go to be sure its fitted that day the bumper is taken off!
Cheers guys you have been helpfull..
P.S. im also after the plastic cover piece that covers the tow eye which is situated under the left hand fog light in th pic above if anyone has for sale??

Which is why id rather risk me self buying a set of brackets knowing im definetly fitting the bumpers, and who knows i may have these brackets on my bumpers already and dont even know it!! but not taking the strip down risk on them to find out its all going back on!!

They look more like regular pods :
This is a big mistery, so as Kenny said, you fitted Super S front bumper with regular brackets... I can assure you in my case it was bloody impossible when I first tried, the bumper' plastic surrounding the back of fog lights were blocked by regular pods and bumper coudn't be pushed deeper.

Eliot, after inspecting my Super S bumper last night and the shape of the brackets, i cant see the ones you have fitting! the ones in the picture Seb posted with the small cut out slightly half moon shape type is what fits around the foglight to fit snug and the one you have wont fit arounf the foglight so it will be hitting againts the foglight etc.... and my guess that its the same brackets i have on my car currently which is the ones ive posted aswell on this thread....
