Difference between pre and post facelift bumper

[PapiHaych]

I’ve got a damaged rear bumper and rear fender on my 2005 e85 pre facelift and need a new one. Seen someone offering one for 20 quid. Absolute bargain but, its the 2007 post facelift. Not sure if it will actually fit on my car?

You will have issues around the light clusters as they are a different shape.

I believe it's possible for it to fit, however you'd need to swap out the lights to the facelift versions as well.

Fitment is the same. As Calps says, slight difference around the lights, but I’ve been running pre facelift rear lights on a facelifted bumper fit 5 years. It’s a small thing and you get used to it after a while!
