Default ARB bumper/bull bar question

I have an 03 Disco-------is it possible to put a 2002 ARB bumper/bullbar bumper (no fog light cut outs is the most noticeable difference) on an '03? Or is the mounting all different and major modifications would have to happen?
I figure one of you guys has dealt with this stuff before. Also, it needs to be airbag compatible. I have a chance to have this cheap.

Mounts up no problem, the only difference between the earlier DII's and the '03-'04's is cosmetic.

Default yep

I just got the same and i like the fact that it has push pads and instead of the little fog lights you can use the wires for some bigger driving lights mounted on the bumper...

Actually there is a slight difference on how the bumper and grille mate up. I put an 03-04 on my 2000 because eventually I plan on a total face lift and the bumper is raised about 1/4"-1/2" into the grille pushing it up slightly, dis-forming it and the headlight trim pieces just a bit. Might not be a problem the other way around. Just a little gap instead.

theres a guy nearby that has one for sale for $500 from a junkyard, but he has none of the mounting hardware...its just the bumper. I think at that price I'll go to a good body shop or 4x4 place, and also see if ARB sells the compatible hardware kit (for brackets etc).

It might be hard to get the mounting hardware. I think someone on a forum was saying that ARB ran out of the hardware and won't have any until they make a new run of bumpers. You might call them and see if they have any yet.
