Not without modifications no. It will not go straight on.

The sei is more rounder, and the cinq is a box in comparison, so the bumper shapes and lines are completely different, i think the mounting points are also different.

There have however been a few chops but IIRC you had to mould the sei bumper onto the cinq one.

So in answer to the question yes it will fit, but its not a case of swap for swap

Re: Right, I have a question....

Unfortuneatly not as i had a sei and didnt have the gaskets on my front bumper.

However there are a few owners who have these missing or colour code them so there must be a way of removal.

Maybe trying to prise it apart would be a start?

Someone with cinq knowledge will advise further probably in the morning

The bumper trims and ornamental gaskets are screwed in from the back of the bumper
