Will 2016 bumper fit 2013 model?
Hello All,
I'm new to the forum and this is my 1st post. I've tried searching here and elsewhere without any luck. I know the 2016 headlights fit the earlier models which would lead me to assume the bumper should fit. Can anyone confirm? I'm wanting to add the 2016 xjr bumper. Thank you in advance.

Based only on the parts info (I have never tried to fit one in person):
The radiator splash shield (front plastic undertray) is the same between the years, but the reinforcement foams are different so likely to be needed in addition to the bumper cover and inserts.
However, I note you mention switching to the XJR bumper (assuming to a non-XJR car). It is worth mentioning that the bumper covers are the same for XJR and normal models, only the inserts are different. If you have a pre-2016 non-XJR you can just swap the inserts over to get the pre-2016 XJR look. If you want the 2016 bumper too you can replace the lot (plus the foams).
