Hi Craig,
The grills right then, but the new bumper i got has got the two vent holes at the front either side of the number plate, and the fog/indicator light holes look bigger, have seent hem on an S reg facelift model around Crawley with a bigger fog light but the indicator light is smaller. I will try and take mearsurements over the wekend and see if mine will fit, but it all depends on the fittings at the back of the fog/indicator lights.

Craig i haven't got the headlight washers and the new bumper doesn't have the cut outs for them either so i won't be fitting them.

Fitzy,
the light units (wether they are the large indicator without foglight as on the Ghia/executive models or the foglight/indicator unit combined) are exactly the same size and will fit into either bumper (Facelift with the vent holes or prefacelift without)
You should not have a problem there unless you are trying to fit the fog/indicator unit to a car which didn't have fog lights previously. In which case you need a new switch, and relay and possibly a bit of wiring as well
Photos would be good if you are having problems

The facelift fog lights are not tinted as such. What it is is they have a darker band behind the glass similar to the facelift headklights. On the headlights, the backed the reflector behind the glass and it is the same with the later foglights, they just have a blackish band instead of chrome which makes them look darker inside.
I think they actually changed the colour of the plastic as well from light grey on the early models to black on the later ones

Just to add something else... with a new bumper you will no longer get the cut outs for the pop-up washers. There was a TSB issued about this. It contained the dimensions for the Ford 'technicians' to cut them out where required.

I think I have the templates somewhere for the washer jet cutouts. If anyone needs them, I'll have a look
