but i dont know if there are much difrience beetwin those 2 cars..i know that rear end is difrient (because we got h/b) but not sure about front end...

Well post a pic of the front of your car. We got plenty of pics of the front of the US spec ones but we've never really seen the front of your car so how can we compare

Well, your front end definitely different than the North American one. But I don't remember Bomex ever making a bodykit for the Corolla sedan/hatch. Do you have a pic of the bumper you were planning on getting?

[jhbhatia]

I think the dude's referring to the ones' on ebay. Dwayna was selling them as bomex (i think)..but his business practices were questionable....I'd highly recommend u ask that same question at corollacustomz.com BTW: i've driven and seen that rolla in the middle east. Visually, yeah it seems to be same. but don't take my word for it..since ur spending the dough!

Well, if the bumper that's for sale is for the North American ones, the part that will cause problems will be the signal lights. It's no biggie though. For another little bit of cash you can usually find clear signal lights for the US spec bumpers.

[Chris Corolla S]

From the pics it looks like you have the same hood/fenders/lights/grill but the bumper is definitley different.

[Sergiusz]

yea i will think about..thinking about getting myself a clearcorner lights and put some net into the grill and bumper...and on hood put gt4, impreza or evo7 or 8 scoop...i will see

USDM models have longer bumpers front and rear due to extra reinforcement (a big steel bar) not found on European models. US bumpers will swap onto Euro models without a problem, since you don't have the reinforcement to worry about anyway. You will need US turn signal lenses, as they will not swap (although the harnesses and bulbs are the same, just the light housing isn't). It's just like facelifted Euro E10 hatchback turn signals are different from yours, as are Euro E10 saloon and estate models.

Corner lenses will fit, but not well. European and Japanese single beam (H4) headlights share the same screw location on top (where the tab on the corner light screws into the headlight), while US dual beam (9005/HB3 and 9006/HB4) headlights have the screw location further back. Grilles will swap, but for proper fit and finish, they should be swapped with the correct headlight shape (US vs. rest of the world). And of course, headlights will swap. 'Tis best to swap headlights, parking lights, and grille together.
