Might be cheaper to buy the bumper from Castle Hill as the international freight may be a killer.

You may need to get all the clips, and from what I was told the front splash guards are different (don't hold me to that though). The front bumper pad can be filed down to fit the new bumper too.

I bought part #1 from Castle Hill, part #20 from the USA, and reused the original parts from my '92. Nothing else was needed. The '92 foam can be cut with a stanley knife. I elected not to install the foglamps.
