Dave, just come over and pick the bar up and give it a test fit. Take it home for a week or so and have a play. Bumper bars are a piece of piss to get off.
If it fits easily great, if its a real pain in the arse just bring it back.
The buyers aren't exactly fighting over it.

This is a great offer.
I had an NB8A, but mine had the factory front lip and side skirts. This makes a huge difference to the appearance. Without the front lip, I'd go the NB8B bumper and light conversion rather than modifying the NB8A bumper, especially at the price Bear is offering.

The inner liners on the guards are also different.
I ran a later NB bumper with the earlier lights for years, I wasn't fussed about the slight gap on the inside.
Airflow to radiator is fine.

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
