Are you saying you have a bumper without fog lights?
What car is it? Year / model /engine?

There are TWO types of fog lights ... sport and non-sport ... they DON'T fit in both bumpers. You have to get them to match.

Sport bumper has the deeper grill area where number plate is higher than the bottom edge.

non-sport is the narrow grill.

But if you have a CC you'll have sport wings too ... and a non-sport bumper won't fit properly. It juts out slightly at join with the standard wing.

I'm intersted in this as I'm sure I have the right wings on my car an no fog lights in the bumper. Everything lines up perfectly so I can't see where non correct parts are used.

Assuming this works, they link above is a pic of CC ... notice how the edges of the front wheel arches are "flared out" ... on a standard 206 these are almost flat. And the deep grill area in the bumper.

It's not unusual for 206cc to be rebuilt with the wrong parts ... the "sport" items are almost double the standard parts so to save money ... yes, they use the cheaper bits. A front end smash usually takes out bumper, lights, bonnet, and both wings plus assorted bits underneath. That all starts to add up ...

Below is a standard hatchback ... non-sport bumper, etc.

I've only seen non-sport bumpers with no fog lights. That was how our 206 Style came ... the CCs all seem to have fogs and sport-bumpers. But you can get non-sport bumpers with fog light holes ... and that is what is on our hatchback now ... But Peugeot could have made a "special" 206CC to get rid of the parts nearing its replacement.

I know the two fogs aren't interchangeable as our CC had a cracked glass and the spare fogs I had didn't fit.
