Hi guys,
just wondered if any1 has any experience swapping bumper from se to m sport. Do the covers fit on se brackets etc ??
Ive got the bumpers, they just need fitting and painting. As you can see, they look ten times better.
Also, ive had a new turbo fitted and it is really flat midrange.... do i need to have the actuator adjusted, sound like it may be blowing off early . Any reply's would be gratefully recieved.
Thanks.

Hi Dave. I did this swap a couple of months ago and did this post below, just copy the link. The post comes with all the part numbers you'll need, prices, and a copy of the PDF to help. Contact me if any probs or I can help further.
Regards, Ken.

We haven't heard from him since 2011, so probably not. Have you tried PMing him?
