im after changing the rear bumper to an ST bumper like below,  My bumper looks the same apart from the bottom bit, does this just bolt off and will fit to mine ok ?

it says 2016 on the orange bumper . just wanted to make sure its just a bolt on and off with the lower part.

    If you change to the ST bumper you’ll have a hole in the middle where the exhaust should be.

    A 2016 (MK3.5) Hatchback rear bumper does not fit on a 2013 (MK3) Hatchback.

    Different shape (smaller) taillights and different shape rear bumper around the taillights.

    Hi mate... Do you mean mine currently has smaller lights in MY bumper ?

    Because the new bumper has its own lights in it... Im only looking to change the lower part...

    grill and the bit above the exhaust and lights if needed...

    Your saying it still wont fit ?

    If you want a central exhaust then use the mk3 prefacelift ST bumper or lower part.

    Thats a shame, The orange bumper was really cheap, seen them 3 times as much on ebay lol

    Found them

    Ebay £100 but probs alot of work and filling before its any good

    or Fords are £168 New...

    1 last thing before i commit......

    to get it looking like a 3.5 at the back....   can you change the whole bumper, the lights, and the boot ?

    would those 3 things fit the preface lift ?

    or is it purely only the preface lift lower bumper i can change ?

    Mounting points are also partly different so they needs to be changed / added to make it fit.
