Facelift front bumper

Hi all i have been offered a facelift front bumper with the DRL fitted in..

Does anyone know if it is a direct fit to the pre facelift 'standard' bumpers.. Not sure if the DRL's can be run electrically form the fogs etc

I looked into this a little while back, I don't think it's a direct fit..

I believe the front lip section and the service panel behind it need to be replaced but I stand to be corrected on that!

It's hugely incompatible.

Just the kind of thing I'd try.

There's about £4000 in bits required to do the conversion.

Front lip etc. but it is mostly incompatible with the front carbon undertray.

DBA front bumper made by gt-rr fits CBA models.

GT-RR

Made from fiber glass and won't require new bits to fit. DRL are purchased separately.

Here is the NAGTROC thread about it:

Hit and miss I guess.

I was going to say that sounds like a lot more trouble than it's worth.
I've been telling Albert at Knight Racer that a grille that has the outer parts of the trapezoid sloping outward like the DBA, rather than sloping inwards like the earlier cars would be a nice modernising of the front of earlier cars.

Yes, you'd have to cut the original bumper to fit it obviously, but it's the major aspect of the DBA's styling that I prefer. LEDs, I've already got...
