'52 Plate Mondeo Front Bumper Replacement.

[Brigbeale]

My step-son damaged his front bumper on his Mk3 Mondeo yesterday.

It is a 52 plate car which has the fog lamps in the front bumper.

He hit a low bollard which damaged the left front end of the bumper (where the fog lamp fits) and broke the side mounts of the bumper and broke the splitter and fog lamp housing.

It is the silver/gold and it is the same as this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-OEM-Ford-Mondeo-Mk3-Front-Bumper-2000-2003-Gold-COMPLETE-/190638714165?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2c62f3ed35

He has been offered another bumper of a different design like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Mondeo-Mk-3-Front-Bumper-Oyster-Silver-/270911419863?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f139435d7

I've so far worked out it's a facelift bumper.

My question is will it fit the pre face-lift model car.

I dont see why not as far as I know the mounts are the same. Ford wont have gone to the expense of altering them
