Have unfortunately scuffed the front bumper of the car. Not much, but enought to get me thinking about swapping the front bumper for the facelifted one from the 2010/2011 hatch.

My question is, has anyone done it? Does anyone know what parts are required? I remember reading somewhere that you need to swap the bumper, grille and fog covers. Anything else?

I did call my SG Petch up in Richmond but they were unsure on what was needed. For the 2010/2011 model, is the bumper the same on both the hatch and the saloon?

Any help or advice, as always, is muchly appreciated.

The full conversion will cost you £900 the bumper skin is £300 the grill is £200 the fog covers are £100 each then plus labour and paint £200.

I was thinking of doing it to the R205, but decided not to.

Lol getting mine done in a few weeks too after a small cone incident at the 'ring'.
The face lift bumper is far superior to the previous one.

In fact, Rob, do you mind posting the parts numbers so I know exactly what I need to ask for.

You might want to add a few more bits to the shopping list
HT autos splitter side skirts and rear bumper extensions.

Nope nothing bad just hit a cone on the straight after a quick bend. It removed some paint and the side air duct. The bumper was already cracked before i bought it & never noticed until after the sale.

The set up you have on your front end is way way nicer than the horrid black effort on mine. Glad Subaru changed it TBH and utterly transforms the front.

Notice the missing vent!

The MY08+ is to plasticky for my liking to. The best fix is to spray the foglight surrounds black like the STI Cosworth. Looks much better.
