So, some plonker seems to have reversed into my baby.
LLL Parts came back to me to say that the bumpers are no longer manufactured.
There may be 2016 bumper available in a scrap yard in Tyrone (I am in Dublin).
Would a 2016 bumper fit a 2010 vehicle?

Yes, the bumper should fit, so long as its like for like (SE bumper to SE bumper or Msport bumper to Msport), otherwise you'll have to change the plastic bumper brackets (SE bumper to Msport bumper). Also has your car got or the donor car got PDC? (you'll be missing or will be getting extra holes in the bumper skin)

Hmm, all good points.Zed Baron wrote: ↑Fri Mar 29, 2024 9:20 am Yes, the bumper should fit, so long as its like for like (SE bumper to SE bumper or Msport bumper to Msport), otherwise you'll have to change the plastic bumper brackets (SE bumper to Msport bumper).

The donor car is M badged and has the required PDC holes.
It's got the single cutout on the left for the dual pipes. No cutout on the right, same as mine.
So will I still need to change the brackets?
And any idea which brackets these are?

Here's a video that should explain it all, shows the brackets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsM4TUdpD4M&t=326s
