Facelift bumpers: are they two piece?

[midnight407]

Snagged the front right corner of my bumper and looking to fix DIY. I can’t seem to find a part number for the lower plastic half of the bumper cover which leads me to believe I’m gonna have to get an entire cover...anyone know my options?

Single piece I'm afraid...

Assuming this is the regular front bumper cover for the 3.0 & 4.4 (not the 4.8is front bumper)....here's instructions on how to remove/replace front bumper (facelift): https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/e...bumper/BugrCqL


If a previous owner did an upgrade to the front bumper...there could be two pieces. The lower section of the 4.6is can be adhered to the front bumper of the 3.0 and 4.4 models to give it the "look" of the 4.6is front bumper. It would be #2 in the diagram below:

I was hoping I could do that, but you can see in my pics that my PDC sensors are mounted directly to the bumper, not in trim/cover panels like the diagram shows. I guess I’ll be going full bumper ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ anyone selling one?

The PDC sensors are only mounted in the trim panels on the pre-facelift bumper. They are in the main bumper on LCI cars...

(The diagram above - from QSilver7 - is of the pre-facelift version, just to show the 4.6IS lower section).

Also buy the two side clips - #11 (a left and a right - two different part numbers) in the diagram above - they will break when you removed the bumper, no matter how careful you are.
