Default Has anyone replaced their OEM bumper with an aftermarket?

If you had an accident or did the F-Sport conversion?

how was the fitment?

Thanks

Search for a Club member by the name of biggame. He did a front bumper conversion and it came out great.

Don't do it. I believe Big used OEM parts. Always get OEM parts, aftermarkets will always have fitment issues.

Having hard time finding the bumper. I think this is the one I need, but the description does not say anything about the headlight washers,

https://www.parts.com/index.cfm?fuse...BUMPER%2DCOVER

I tried numerous sites, they all have the same description.

The link you provided actually is for a base bumper not an F sport bumper. Look at the description it says without F sport.

Definitely only buy OEM. The part in the link you provided is probably optional OEM. Which is good. I would call to confirm this B4 ordering. Hope this helps

For a OEM front bumper with sensors/washers
Part #'s
Non F-sport - 521193A918
W / F-sport - 521193A922
