Hi.
Just wondering if anyone had done this. I have a 2010 td4 hse model and just stumbled on a video on YouTube that showed it on there car. The company was called powerful uk ltd. looks like a nice upgrade if there a decent proper fit. Think it was about £320 for bumper grill and square fog light moulds.
Thanks.
Lee

There are plenty of threads regarding fitting facelift bumpers if you just use the SEARCH facility.

tried that, spent ages looking, and reading alsorts I didnt need to be reading,
id rather just hear specific answers to my particular question

Mav71 was one of the first to do a front bumper facelift, maybe back in 2012. He did a full tutorial plus pictures. Unfortunately he has now moved on, as have his pics 🙄.
I did mine some 3 or 4 years ago. It really consists of headlamp removal, bumper removal, transfer parking sensors, wiring etc. Fit fog lights in to newer “square” housings. Trim un-needed tag off new bumper in slam panel area. Fit replacement bumper as a reverse of removal.
From memory, 🤔, Bumper is held on by 4-6 torx screws on slam panel; 4-6 Phillips or torx? screws below at bottom edge; 3-4 torx? screws in each front wheel arch; and, most difficult, 2 screws deep behind each headlamp aperture. Then position a soft blanket or whatever below the number plate area and take weight of bumper and gently pull off. You may need to unclip the plastic at each front wheel arch by pulling outwards. Tip bumper face down and lay on the blanket. Disconnect wiring to parking sensors and fog lamps.

I did the job on my own. First bumper removal took about an hour. Could do it in maybe less than 30 minutes now but for the fact I am over 72 now and work a bit more slowly.

I'm not trying to be funny, but all you asked was ""Just wondering if anyone had done this". before saying you had watched the Powerful uk video, which pretty much covers everything you'd need to know about fitting a facelift bumper.
If you wanted specific answers then you needed to expand a little as to exactly what information you are after - rather than just asking if anyone had done it,hence my reply about the SEARCH button.

well one month on and its all done, purchased the bumper, square fog light surrounds and the tailgate trim, £425 in all.
and £200 to have then sprayed and fitted, forget to photo the back but here's what the new front end looks like now, and before,
im more than please

It's looking good

2007 FL2 TD4 GS (The wifes , gone after 8 great years)

2015 DISCOVERY SPORT 2.2SD4 HSE (For now ?)
2014 Ford Bmax 1.0 ecoboost ( Gone but what next )

Looks great! 'per aspera ad astra'

Just had the same PowerfulUk bumper fitted to my 2007 HSE, after a small "altercation" with a deer... ahem, oh dear etc...

Along with new headlights from Hella.

Got to say it does look good now . Not so sure about the deer...

Nasty, but seems to of turned out well for you

just done this to the wifes f/l its a good mod

have to agree hippo, your car looks much better, without that old fashioned looking grille, I could be tempted myself . . . But (personal opinion) I do still prefer the aggressive look of my HST front end

I think it is fair to say "we all like our own look", that is what makes our vehicles, individual.
