R Bumper

Post by Stu13R »

Does anyone know if the facelift R bumper fits a 63 plate R line ok? Are they similar drops, as I don't want it to look odd?

I am looking into a Darkside custom dual exit exhaust and thought the R bumper could be a good solution.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

I have no idea how long the facelift model has been in, but assume mine being a 63 plate on 14 months old it must be the old shape.

Reading the posts I am now thinking if I wanted the rear bumper I would have to swap the tailgate, bumper and lights. Anyone know if that's right and does anyone have a couple of pics of the new 2015 R rear and in white if possible?

Thanks Stu

If yours is a 63 plate then yes it is pre facelift.
Someone on here did change the whole rear to look like the facelift.
It required lights , tailgate , bumper.

Thanks for the quick reply. I will have to try and find that post and then cost the parts. I'm hoping things like the fitting and glass are not included to keep the cost down.
