Yep - bolts striaight on, although you'll need to make the holes for the reversing sensors if it's a new bumper (pre-marked on the reverse side). I have one on mine ... Regards,

Already has holes for sensors but I have just read that the old ones wont fit into it. So unless I can make them fit I'll have to get new sensors aswell.

Bumper from ebay £75. Paintwork £150 (cash). I had to glue sensor housing to bumper as holes were slightly bigger. Easy job and very pleased with result.

Isn't a 2009+ D3 bumper the same as a D4bumper apart from the parking sensors?
So if you'd have bought one of these bumpers you would of got the same look but your parking sensor bezels would of been a straight fit rather than using glue on the bezels?

When you say glue ...
I am right in thinking ... the holes in the newer bumper are bigger ...
So the sensor doesn't fit as.... the smaller sensor is loose in the hole on the newer unit .....
The bezel fitting however can be glued to retain the sensor in situe by gluing it across the larger hole to enable them to lie flat ...
The glue won't fail or the sensor fall off... or did you use tiger seal .... any close up pics
Sorry for stating the obvious as curious ...

It is the bezel fitting thats glued to the bumper. I used Araldite, seems to be holding well.if it did come unstuck it wouldn't go anywhere because the sensor is clipped to it and that in turn is attached to wiring loom.

My first post I'm just wondering about the originally black plastic panel above the bumper. Did you paint it or did you replace it?
