    Will 4dr bumpers fit on the hatchback?

    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.

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

    Re: Will 4dr bumpers fit on the hatchback?

    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...
