just the bumpers?

if not the lights, wing and grille will need changing aswel.

Are you just thinking of bumpers and skirts, or do you want the whole shebang - complete Mk2 front end and spoiler?

Bumpers will swap over no problemo iirc, although as you have a Mk1 the standard front grille might push the bumper down a bit so you end up with a gap under the headlights. You can fit a complete Mk2 front end to get round this, but that means swapping the headlamps and retaining clips, indicators, grille and front wings.

Sideskirts are the same from Mk1 to Mk2, so no issues there. You'll either need to rivet some clips to your sills, or bond them on with some tigerseal or suchlike (and the odd screw too).

Spoiler will fit, but need some holes drilling. Nick did a write up with dimensions and triangulations and etc somewhere, have a look in the Styling forum.

Welcome to NL btw :D

if it has a gte/early sr spoiler the holes are in the same position needed for the gsi one.

the rear bumper clips are also different and need to be changed. whilst the front is the same.

imo mix and match bumpers dont look right. its either mk1 or 2.
