Howdy all,

I consider swapping the existing bumper with another OEM one, yet the previous model fitted on units until 2005. Reason is the post-2005 version puts on show a lower approach angle by simply being bigger and larger.

Couple of questions though.

1. Is this a fairly trouble-free DIY project or does it require some further modifications on top of the actual bumper swap ?
2. My Jimny is factory equipped with fog lights. Do they fit (plug and play sort of) also to the older model bumper or do they differ size wise / maybe require different fitting / brackets etc. ?

Many thanks indeed for your piece of advise.

The 2013 facelift has been grafted on to a post 2005 with some success, so I can't see why it couldn't be done with a bit of effort and some ingenuity.
