The plus has a line on the top of the lips, the LE doesnt. Am I right? Will a plus bumper fit an LE and will a LE bumper fit a Plus Cheers

Starsky72 Unregistered S	when you say holes, I am guessing you mean to locate the "lugs" on the grill when fixing, as in they are not visible when the grill is in place?? I can't think of any visible differences, and cant think where 2kg could be saved.

My mate had had it in storage for his plus but sold the car before getting round to fitting and spraying it. Its a definately a genuine plus bumper but just seems flimsey and the lips dont seem to be a brilliant fit when compared to my LE and the lips have lines on the top of them. Maybe once sprayed the bumpers stiffen up? Or as mentioned before maybe the plus's are made from thinner plastic. Any pics appreciated Im sure with a bit of prep work it will look ok.
