I don't think there is a diff from 1999 and 2000.

There are two bumpers though, the early ones have the fog light, the latter (2004+) have the bumper all in one colour and no fog (and fancy lip around the exhausts).

The shape of the numberplate hole!

And the early JDMs didn't have a fog hole either.

The 2004+ rear bumpers had the rear fog light moved the the light cluster so there's no where to mount that anymore if you change.

The earlier cars had their fog light mounted low down between the exhasut tips and early JDM's had a seperate one altogether.

Mine's a mixture of both, but the offside cluster had to come from the US to make them symmetrical. It started as a JDM one

If I ever swapped over my rear clusters I'd have to do the same thing Shipley. I don't like the non symmetricalness of the UK ones.

Where did you order the offside cluster from Shipley, and how much was it out of interest?

I bought it from Michael Ferguson who's in Northern Ireland. He had it spare so I replaced the rear bumper and both clusters.

He must have got it from the US

I've had it for a few years now and I can't remember now how much it was I'm afraid....... sorry.
