Bit of gaffer tape an some pritt stick it should fit alright.
But seriously just spoke to my man who did the exact same thing as I'm about to do it when the bumper arrives an it's a straight swap over.

need to make sure, as the early classic has a alloy plate to each side. clips on the body and the bumper clips to that. im thinking the 99on has a simerler thing
makes a tighter fit with no movment to the sides, if i was to just bolt up. it would be to easy for the bumper to come off.

pm'ed acouple of persons on this
nothing so far, but looking at the bumper closely. theres a slight imprint of a bracket.
so there must be one, will be different than the early classic bumpers.
so before i go ahead and respray the bumper in 599 red, i need to get this, or what ever suports the sides of the bumper.

I just caught up with this.
Assuming turbo bumper being swapped for turbo bumper?
Then yes it fits, On the early car bumper mounting bracket you might need to chop off the hanging down brackets that come out by the spotlight holes to gain clearance. No sweat chop away.
But otherwise the mounting blade itself fits both styles of bumpers.
Good Luck, David APi

need to spray it all first before putting it on like.
if i remember, the main suport beem i have, dont have the drop out for the spots. but know which one your onabout mate.
if i was to get the proper side support bracket things, where would be the best place to get them
do your self have them at all?
and if so, what sort of price would you be asking for.

Every late facelift classic I have dealt with has not had the side support brackets present, either because they never came with them in the first place (Subaru trying to cut costs), or they have fell off.
Either way, it is no big deal as it doesn't really do much.
The onlt thing I would suggest, is to used a nut/bolt with large washers to fix the bumper to the wing, and make sure all the clips are in to the wheel arch liner for a little added support.

thats what was bothering me mate, them sides being too flimsy
but every car ive seen, have been the model before or they have been damaged
and been thrown away like
its cost quite abit getting the bumper/differnt grill/rear bumper ect
and the splitter, so really want to make a proper job
on them
guess i can sell the bumpers/splitter & grill i take off
should look good once i've sprayed it all and fitted em
