N16 face lift front bumper replacment help

Hi

Crashed my almera SE and need to replace the bumper - found one that matches the colour but it does not have the fitting/slots open for the spot lights - does anyone know whether they just unclip or does it require manual cutting?

You can see the outline on the back of the replacement

Your front panel is bent, your headlamp is broken, the radiator has probably been impacted the front cross member is likely to have been bent too.
Are you just fitting a new bumper and hoping for the best?
The fogs are cut-out from what I remember BTW. Nott too hard with a drill and a profile saw blade or thin hacksaw blade and file.
 
Thnks for the reply, no bumper just part of the repair process but cant find the same colour at the breakers yard- radiator is fine however.

Cross member is bent but was hoping I could bend it back.

Headlamp is broken but will buy a replacement .
 
How bent is the crossmember? personally as a fabricator i'd swap that before I worried about the bumper.

It's pretty bent so I have out off the bumper buying and just cable tied and duct taped bits back so nothing falls off. The headlamps electrics were loose and also had come away but a but of fiddling, new bulbs and gorilla glue have sorted. I didn't realise how easy it was to repair
