Bumper / Grille upgrade / Mods

Click image to enlarge

Hey everybody, just waiting to get my FL2 and I'm a complete newbie to them. I have a few questions that's I'm hoping people can help me with:
1. Is there any way of upgrading the bumper / grill to the new shape one? Is there a few versions of it?
And if so, is it just a case of finding one on eBay and it should just fit on easily enough?

2. It's a company vehicle and will quite possibly need hazard lights on the top. Has anybody done similar with their FL2?
If so, can you recommend any light boards and do you have any pics?

3. Can anyone recommend any mods for the car? I've seen a few people say change the orange lights to clear and change the badge to black & white. What other mods do people recommend?

Thank you in advance !

Phil

HappyNomad - that looks reeeeally good. I need that bumper in my life!
If I just swap the bumper, does the grille come attached or is that a separate item? Also, the headlights you said to change, are they a different shape or just the output ?
Did you retro fit that cream interior? I love it. Gutted mines very basic inside.

Westville, thanks for the info. I'm not too keen on side steps for the FL2, but I can't figure out why! Does you have a link to the kit you're talking about on Gumtree?

Thanks

The grill is part of the bumper and those are seat covers although mine does have a cream interior.

Great thank you. So just need a 2010 face lift bumper like the one listed on eBay below, right?

Then just get it sprayed in Sumatra black?

Yes and some trims to go round the fog lights.

And the lights because mine doesn't have any!
Is that the only difference in the front then? Are the headlights not a slightly different shape?

As yours doesn't have the lights I don't think it will have the wiring for them or the parking sensors so you will need a bumper like this one,

The headlights are the same.

Can that not be bought separately or does it all start getting expensive then? I'm not planing on doing the mod myself as I'm not that handy, so will be taking it to local garage.

Maybe a after market parking sensor kit and the fogs could be wired to a switch.
