I was at the wreckers today and saw a nice looking 3G with 650,000km!
Little video I took:

I want to paint my 3G which has those unfinished plastic bumpers.
Will the front+rear bumpers off this 4door model fit?
They would be so much easier to paint.

Im not sure about mounting but the hatch bumper is shorter than the 4dr bumper

I just remembered that anything from the fenders foward is totally interchangable between the sedan coupe and hatch so the fron will fit.

Breakdown:

Front bumpers from all years, trims, and bodystyles are interchangeable, but if you're swapping bumpers from a pre-facelift model onto a facelift model* (or vice-versa) you must bring the metal reinforcement along with the plastic cover, but that's the easiest way to swap them, anyway.

No rear bumpers are interchangeable between bodystyles, but year-to-year and trim-to-trim within the same bodystyle is all good.

*Remember, all hatchbacks are pre-facelift models. They never received the newer trim and bumpers and stuff.

edit: That's only 400k miles...
