I removed my normal rear and just slid the mtech one over the old mounting hardware. The core was already in the bumper though so its possible thats different.

He PM'd me, but I didn't know the answer.
It seems the hardware is pretty much the same (you might have to transfer your core if the other bumper doesn't have it). I'm not sure what my mate did when he installed his bumper, but I went by this week and decided to just take it off and re-install it from start with him and it worked out. It could just be a matter of adjusting how you line it up as you slid it on and before you start to fasten it into place. Playing with the positioning to makie sure things are lined up well.

Cheers for the referal question though Cooljess

I've contacted all of them about shipping to the US with only one willing to and I've been waiting a month for pics, as it is a seller who has one but hasn't listed it yet!

I found 4 in the UK, and bought one with a diffuser and the trim pieces for $158. Pristine condition. If only shipping the bumper dimentions, it would have been $180 to ship. However, once it was boxed, it was too large for any shipper to handle. 170CM long seems to be the no ship size.

So as a result of not getting the bumper cover, I found one here in the US that had a car attached. I pick it up tomorrow. UK shipping would have been cheaper...

Everybody can rest easy now as I found one for $250 shipped from the UK! Crazy I had to buy overseas for there are several here that are collecting dust!

If anyone is looking to spend $350-400 plus paint I know of several.
