Hi. I have a non m sport rear bumper at the moment and im looking to change to somthing different like the msport one. Ive seen a few on ebay. Is this a straight swap?

No idea about straight swap but this is a ridiculous bargain! And owner will know, I'm sure.

Not really. The bumper itself will fit, but it won't match the arches (the M-sport arches are more flared).
You could of course change the rear arches, but then would have to change the sill covers front arches and front bumper (i.e convert to a full M-Sport kit) for all the profiles to match.

Ive got the flared rear arches on the car just now. I didnt realise that the m sport ones were any different?

Forgot to add- even if you have the flared arches on the SE, they are different in shape at the point were they meet the bumper.
