The under rider fittings are the clue....IIRC.

I would fit the brackets to the bumper and then fit the whole to the car as the studs go through holes in the body
and should line up and are obvious if wrong...

Thanks Jon,

I think also the front bumper irons are handed and they tilt up or down if the left is fitted on the right and vice versa, so i was looking for some giudance as to how to tell the differance.

many thanks
