I did this a few weeks ago but i didnt jack up the engine or drill any holes. get a mate to help you, lie under the car with a torch and get your mate to push the bumper in until the holes line up, then screw the bolt in, it takes a while the get them bolts to line up with the holes but you will get it eventually.

depends on where you buy it from really. some 'copies' don't fit well but geniue bumpers do. Some bumpers come with foglights holes and some don't. i think you can just cut a hole if yours haven't got holes for foglights.
