On a CL, the rear bumper comes in two parts (unlike the 16v). It should be quite easy to pick up the bottom of the rear bumper from a scrappy.

Yep. The 16v bumper is one piece, so it would replace both the upper and lower parts of the 8v bumper.

You could put a 16v bumper on, but Im presuming theyd cost more. So unless your actually going for a change in the looks of the car, you'd be better off saving money by just replacing it with the standard part. Plus 16v bumpers are harder to source than standard ones.
