if you look at this pic you can see in the normal mounting points for the front bumper have some custom made brackets.. the front bumper has been hollowed out so it only the plastic shell left. the bumper sits on these brackets and bolts through where the bumper insert would be.



two m8 bolts are rivnutted to the brackets so all you have to do is whip them out and the two screws in the arch. i will be changing the two screws for bolts rivnutted to the wings in the future.

Excellent job,i was looking at the holes thinking where to put the bolts,didn't think of a bracket and scratching my head as room is tight on the bumper for making holes...cheers..great car too ...
