Default F-Type Facelift Front Bumper Insert Question

Morning all,

Looking to buy a 2021\2022 P450, the budget won't stretch to a 2023/24 car. However I do much prefer the revised and updated bumper inserts. Does anyone know if they're a direct replacement and if so, the part number?

Other option is to wrap the middle "fin" gloss black.

Not certain, but they may be the same except for paint treatment. Here's my 2024 P450 which is done in the body color (BRG) rather than black.

Yeah you could well be right. Wasn't sure if the gloss black was just ABS plastic, not sprayed.

Do you happen to know if they just pull off, or it's a bumper off job?

Odds on they are held on by screws and/or clips just like the rest of the bumper which probably means bumper off if that is the case.
At a pinch you might be able to release the screws/clips without taking the bumper off, by removing the wheels and the undertray(s) and probably the wheel well liners, but that would probably be just as much hassle/time/effort as taking the bumper off.
Also each one has a parking sensor in it so possibly another hassle.
