Guys,
My wife is laughing at me and I give her good reason. Why do I think any job on the car will take an hour and be a simple bolt off / on affair!?
So, these bad boys arrived today ....
What I need help with is:
1. does the front bumper need brackets at the corners? They seem to be very close on one side and rubbing the body work on the other!
2. The holes on the sides don't quite align with the bumper's but thread, almost as if the bumpers don't go back far enough. But yet they are as far back as I can get them and rubbing the paintwork. Any thoughts as to why? Or how to sort?
Original bumper I'm convinced was from a US car that would have had the 5mph impact rubber, hence it was too wide for the car, see this ...
Any advice gratefully received!!
