Hi Guys
I need to replace my pre-facelift front bumper, can a facelift bumper fit straight on? Or any VS style bumpers for sale? Post code is 2147 NSW.
Thanks guys...

A facelift bumper will go straight on, you will just need to purchase new fog/park/indicators to suit the new bumper.

Yep,the facelift bar fits straight up to the prefacelift rheo. Foglight has a different bracket though on the facelift rheo, so if you want to fit foglights,it will require a custom bracket (or facelift rheo). Most people run cold air induction through the hole anyway.

Is that the grill part you meant by middle section?

No, he meant the middle section of the reo as it's 3 pieces.

Yep, essentailly you either need the 3 prefacelift bits of rheo or the 3 facelift bits of rheo, you cant mix and match. The bar wil fit either one.

Thanks guys. I'll try to find these from Chullora tomorrow afternoon. I prefer the facelift bumper, that's why I'm eager to buy this. Anyone sells a facelift bumper?

Hi dstocks
Is that the bumper listed here in your site:

Looks great. This can keep the pre-facelift oval shaped side lights as well, right? I will let you know this weekend.
Do I have to mount a metal mesh grill behind the bumper to cover the radiator if I install these kind of bumpers?
Cheers.
