Iv been thinking of changing my front bumper for something more aggressive looking. Now as i look around the net most of the sport type bumpers are for post facelift models..is there much modification required to fit a post facelift bumper to a pre facelift model?

No. is the simple answer. it's easy.
A few including me have done it.
Bumpers are easy and cheep to get post facelift fogs aren't cheep. Watch out for corrosion on 2nd hand ones.
I had to cut off some small plastic mounts. that was it.
Cj said when he did his he didn't have to do this so no idea when the mounts changed. it was easy anyway.

Not seen many aftermarket bumpers for the Z4, with the possible exception of some ridiculously priced AC Schnitzer ones, there is hideous one doing the rounds on fleabay which would have you thrown off the forum if you fitted it.Hunter said:
Any links to the aftermarket ones?
Most people fit either the Aero Kit bumper which retains the front lamps or the Z4M bumper which loses the fog lamps.
From this thread.
And this is my own pre-facelift Zed fitted with an M Bumper that I picked up from a fellow forum member for £50 it then cost £180 for the respray and a further £100 or so for the brake ducts and brackets. so £330ish.
Keep an eye on ebay they do come from time to time.
If the Japenese bumper is the Gurt racing one it is 2 add on pieces fitted to the facelift bumper to ape the look of the M but work out the price they very expensive for they are and have cropped up on the forum a coupkle of times.

Cheers Adam, few more pics here which also show my new rear end, though not quite completed yet.
Again thankyou, yes they are 19's and I would say the ride is better than the original 17's with RFT's fitted, and actually seems better since swapping to Vredestein tyres from Falken.maltaguy8 said:
