Series 2 XR rear bar onto series 1?

Will it fit?

I read another thread and it said the rear bumpers are different from series 1 to series 2.

I found a cheap series 2 rear bar, in the understanding that it would fit, so.. will it?

Cheers

I don't see why it shouldn't mate.

A complete series 2 bumper will fit onto a series 1 car (I did this to my old car), however if you only have the Tickford skirt from the bottom of the bumper, this will only fit onto a series 2 bumper. The base bumper was a lot squarer, and filled out at the bottom more, on the series 2.
Cheers, Matt.

My series 1 has a series 2 rear bar courtesy of the previous owner, so yes, it fits. For the record, so does the front bar.

Oops, should have read all replies first - previous owner has already answered:
