Slide on both Mk1 and Mk2 via brackets either side (bolted to shell) and rubber blocks top and bottom of these brackets. Then there are the bumper carriage bars which secure the bumpers centrally. Access to these is inside the boot and under both front wheel arches.

Personally, I wouldn't bother as Mk2 bumpers on a Mk1 doesn't look right.

Thats not what he asked.

You will have to drill extra holes for the sides of the rear bumper.

IIRC mk1 uses a clip fixed to the car that the bumper slides onto. Remove that & use the 2 screws into the blocks (each side) when fitting mk2 item.
