Not sure quite what you mean, but the front setup of an mtech II car has two parts, a bumper and a front spoiler. The bumper is different from the standard front bumper, but attaches is the same way.

the standard bumper as said will go on easy, but it it narrower then the mtech bumper so it will look ugly as the lower mtech spoiler will stick out where it meets the bottom of the non mtech bumper.

and how the hell did you manage to wreck the bumper and not the spoiler? only in Ireland!!!

fair enough mate!!! you can see how much bigger the tech 2 looks and how the bumper ridges stick out on the standard bumper and in on the tech 2, i dont think a standard bumper would look good if you have a sport as it wont match the side skirts, but that said stick one on there till you find a good tech 2 (as it will be easy to find a standard one and may take some time to find a tech 2 bumper). the mountings are the same but you may need to adjust the side runners (next to the wheel arch) to get the bumper to sit straight... same car before and after fittin tech 2 kit...
