Default Noobie ~ Got a question...

Hey guys looks like a nice place you have here, I hoppe to spend a bit of time around here in the future.

We are about to finalize the purchase of a 2002 BA Falcon Futura. It is in great shape EXCEPT for a nice ding in the front bumper cover/bar.

I have come across a replacement for what I consider to be a really good price, and I am wondering if anyone has swapped these parts, and if it is something easily done, or if I would be better off just taking it to the shop.

Any hints, tips, or suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

I took the front bumper off my AU XR6 before I sold it (only way to get at the headlight). Was fidgety, but managable. Few nuts and bolts, clips etc etc.
