Can I simply swap the bumpers?
I need to replace the original MY01 bumpers (small incident with a ditch) and want to know if I can order the new shape bumpers and do a stright swap? The garage will be ordering them and it appears the new bumpers come as a 28 piece kit. If they don't fit i will have to pay for them and still order the original bumpers?
Thanks

The front one is a straight swap there is a document on here but search is down at the moment.
As for the rear, because the rear light cluster changed to incorporate the fog light fitting a new rear bumper may need some modification - but nothings impossible!

Thanks BlackGT. I was struggling to find relevant S2Ki articles without the search but now found several really good write ups for changing front and rear bumpers:

Rear: http://forums.s2kca.com/showthread.php?t=21965
BUT, looks like front needs some grinding of the front crossmember and rear will make it an MOT failure without changing the lights to get a fog light (as you pointed out).
Given both of these issues I'm going to stay AP1 and try to convince myself that it looks best original!
