I don't know exactly, but I had my front end upgraded from a TF to TH and there were a heck of a lot more support brackets to be fitted prior to the bumper fitment... the panel shop hated me for it, but then they agreed it was worth it in the end... You would surely need the grille and bonnet to go with it I would have thought!

i'm currently in the process of fitting my new front bumper, and just a word of advice... DONT DO IT YOURSELF!

magna front ends are the worst i've ever worked on! so many little screws and clips in stupid places! even the paint shop where i'm doing it said if they ever have a magna come in, they do anything they can to avoid taking the bumper off!

You guys must be joking, it was easy to replace the front bumper from a TE to TJ one, all the brackets from a TE will fit the TJ except the foglight area and little grille thingy, other then that it is a straight swap over. The TE grille fits up perfect aswell as the sides etc.

Here is a pic of the front, I also added the TJ sports kit as well.

Maybe you guys just did'nt remove the bumper support brackets and four bolts, then it would be a pain in the arse. Because once you undo those and the little screws holding the bumper around the edges the whole thing just slides out towards you, pull off the brackets and put them on your new TJ skin and slide it back in.

yeah, there is still a lot of screws and clips holding a magna bumper on

well, when i was in the paint shop today finishing up, they said they never really work on magnas, but if they do, leave the bumper on the car!

a commodore bumper can be installed in about 2 mins... mine took forever! (most of it is all those little screws and clips for the fog lights and brackets etc)
