fitting a front bumper
Can anyone tell me when refitting front bumper. At each side there is a small triangle clip at the top, does the front bumper just sit in this clip? As it doesnt seem very tight once in?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Yes this is the ONLY side support, the clip fits in a triangular hole and will/should be nice and tight, the slot that the bumper knob bit goes into should be solid with no movement, then a BOLT passes through from the inner wing area through the hole in the centre of the lot to a captive insert in the side support bracket of the bumper.
Often(read ALWAYS!!) these inserts/bolts jam together, so use a SS bolt with coppaslip to prevent it happening again.

You've got the small triangle clip at the top which locates the bumper, and then you've got the other clip that sits further down which you have to pop in, and twist - this then locks the bumper in place... (as well as the 4 bolts at the front of course...)
