I had a Euro spec bumper on my front put on. It was simply a remove and replace. You had one large nut and bolt one each side... These were accessed by the wheel arch. Then you had 4 nuts on each of the 2 bumper shocks (8 in total). Once you removed this.. You simply pull the bumper out.

My brain is a bit fuzzy now... I did this in about 20 minutes last year. Pretty straightforward job.

The US spec has shocks.. the Euro's don't.

Hmm.. My euro bumpers had a metal/iron brace(?) not sure of the right word... but anyways, the bolts that stick out of the car's body went into the bumper itself and you simply take the nuts and screw them on. Sort of hard to explain with words.. sorry I don't have any pics
