No issues with bumper fitting I'm fitting one to a 2010 but also doing the headlights and grill to match there would be a bit of a gap between the original head lights and grill with the face lift bumper.D4 GS let the retro fit begin

sorry I don't but if you look at your original bumper below the headlight you will get an idea of the gap in questionD4 GS let the retro fit begin

The latest bumper is a straight swap *but* you will also need the later lights and grille to match - the old lights will not fit
If you want just new lights then as repairman says you can do that with just new grille and new lights (with a small gap) - might be one in my gallery somewhere
edit just looked and can't find it but here it from powerfulukltd

Sorry I edited my last reply so don’t think that helped massively.
So MY14+ bumper is not compatible with the <MY14 lights as these lights are bigger. You’d have to dremmel the bumper to fitStolen - D4 Loire Blue

i fitted some 2014 lights and facelift style grill to my 2012MY XS and kept my original bumper.
i bought the grill and filler strip from PowerfulUK and it all fitted together really well. The lights or the possibly the light housing were slightly different but with a bit of gentle wiggling the new lights dropped in with no modifications needed (other than CCF editing)
a 2012 grill will NOT fit 2014 lights, you will have to buy a facelift grill to match.2011 D4 XS 305 MY12 - gone but not forgotten

So if I keep the original lights on my 2012 Xs and then fit a 2014 bumper all I will then need is the powerful uk filler strip ?.

No pre 2014 lights are bigger the filler strip is for your original bumper and face lift lights and bumper
