Dave,
The '80 99 2-door carried similar bumpers to the early 900s. That said, I am pretty sure that by '86 the mountings were different from the '78 both front and rear. Also, the 99 3/5-door had a different rear bumper than the 2/4-doors (so I don't know that there's a direct-fit later bumper for a hatchback). Also, the underpinnings are quite different on the 900, so you would have to see if you can develop a structure that would support the 900 cover on a 99 bumper mount/bar. I'm sure it could be done, but it's by no means a "bolt on" job.
Good Luck!
Gary
