Other than the side fittings on the bumper, what else secures it to the car?
The 2 box sections that slot in to the chassis, do they have something securing them?

There is a bolt just in front of the wheels. But that's the only real fixings. It only slides into the chassis rails but is not fixed there.

Thanks chaps. I was scratching my head if there is chassis rail fixings.....

Its 3drs that have the extra bolts on the sliders. Think you have to move the lights out the way or something.

Hi

Did you know you have got height adjusters both sides worth checking there not siezed while its off they a 40 torx bit

Cheers Tim.

I have seen the 40 torx screws but they look they only move the bumper horizontal.... am I right or terribly wrong?

Tim Wharton

Hi
They only adjust up and down if they are working correctly
I had trouble with one of mine where the captive nut had come loose
Had to tack it back in place with the mig welder (bit at a time so as not to get things too hot)
Needed a bit of freeing with some wd 40 too


Cheers Tim.

Same question for the rear bumper....... do the chassis legs have anything in them for the bumper brackets to sit in/ on?

Tim Wharton

Hi Cameron

The rear bumper has a fixing either side
They are plastic turn buttons for want of a better description
There is also two plastic shoes that fit in the body either side that the bumper lugs slide into
The main bumper irons are held in by two torx bolts in the top of the chassis rail in the boot.
There are no rubber inserts in the ends of the chassis rails
You have got height adjusters both sides too.

Cheers Tim.
