Quick question, will a gsi bumper still fit ok to a 2000 sport if one of the brackets inside the bumper are damaged? How do the bumpers actually fit, are the exactly the same as my standard one which ive had off at least 5 times?
Also, where the hell can you source jacking covers from?

jacking covers are like gold dust, luckily ive got all mine. the bumper attatches with the two nuts on top, two clips/ nuts with the arches and about 4 nuts on the bottom. you dont have to use the runners on the side , as im not using mine, but i'd imagine it holds it up better if you do. just make sure both the lugs on the ends of the bumper are intact or you could run into all sorts of problems.
hope this helps

Thanks mate that helps me, the 2 holes where the wheel arch trim bolts go through are fine i believe. I'll double check the lugs are ok, are these the ones on the reverse of the bumper which basically hold it in place yeah?

the gsi front bumper fit the same as a standard bumper! 
But depending on the condition of the bumper ive seen gsi front bumpers with no side lugs fit perfect..
my mates gsi front bumper had both lugs and sat on the piss... so aslong as its never been bumped etc should be ok?
mines missing one and when i fitted it it didnt even matter the fact its even got x1 lug
ive got all x4 jacking point covers on my skirts aswel, but as deadliner says there like hens teeth to get hold of!

Cheers lads, is 200 quid for a kit fair? I'm useless with GSIs, know nothing about them lol!
Wiring the fogs up should be easy.

£200 is a BARGIN!!! if all in good nick ad snap there hands off 
fog lights should be easy enough to wire up also.. just wire up to a switch and put a inline fuse so it cannot set on fire

Got the kit, cheers Kev, very pleased with the rear bumper. Sound bloke.
The front bumper and skirts are also sound, apart from one of the arch lugs has broken off. Just took it anyway after driving that far..
Be easy enough to plastic weld one on surely?
Couple of pics...
