There isn't really any difference apart from the early tailgate and the wrap around spoiler

if the front is mk1, then mk1. If its mk2, change the front to mk1 and leave the rear as it is :)

So yours is a Mk2 front end? Then keep the rear bumper the Mk2 as well, bumpers have a similar pattern front and back so IMO would look out of place being from a different version.

I agree southie about the bumpers, but i would much prefer a mrk 1 tailgate to a mrk 2 :)
