HELP! Fitting M Sport Front Bumper to SE

Hi Guys,

My car is in the bodyshop at the moment and I am having trouble in fitting the front bumper which is an M Sport to my SE.

It seems like the foam on the front of the car's crash bar is preventing the bumper from being fitted on, is the foam different or the crash bar a different shape? Is there anything else I need to replace or look at?

I have of course had to buy m sport grills, fog lights, washer jet covers and washer jet hinges as the previous were too short!

Thanks in advance!

Ant

There is a metal lower mount that needs to be swapped as well as foam absorber. I don't think that other thread called out the part # for the absorber.

The M foam absorber is thinner. Technically, you can just not install the stock non-M impact absorber and be done with the install, or you can buy the correct one.. there are several part #s depending on 535, 528, etc...here are some pics of the M and non-M side by side, this might be why the cover is not fitting right.
