Whats teh score with fitting de-chromed post facelift bumpers to a chrome 316?

Straight fit or more hassle than its worth??

hassle - post-facelift fittings are torx bolts and plastic sliders, in different locations to pre-facelifts 4 (or is it 6?) ordinary bolts.

Different lengths and the rear arches are different too so can be done but will look so wrong...
