Right i have taken the front bumper off my saph today to fit a 500 splitter.

The two bolt under the front rounded of but i managed to loosen them enough and the two on the sides are fubar aswell. Im going to see if ford still do the side brackets for the sides if not i will aero catch them but what can i do about the two front ones?

Any ideas?

Did it not pull out, once the sides were loosened? Mine did, but never knew if it was supposed to?! I fitted dzus fasters to each side, as I had some spare, look almost as neat as Aerocatches....

Ford don't do those brackets anymore you will have to get alloy replacements by cdf racing throu motorsport developments.

Stu i couldnt loosen the sides as the were rusted and had to force them out.
What are dzus fasters not heard of them?

costina i thought about them but im not paying £200 for some brackets you wont ever see i would rather aero catch them

If you look on Ebay there is someone selling alloy replacement side brackets. I'm fairly certain it's someone from here. He puts them up for auction and they generally sell around £50. A lot better value than CDF items from MSD. IIRC the guy was restoring his saph and decided to make his own brackets.
Looked pretty good by the pics and feedback.

My side mounts were well knackered, just drilled out the rivets and took out the entire bracket and fitted Dzus (quarter-turn) fasteners, only as I had a pair kicking about, or I would of probably used Aerocatches...

There is a guy on eBay search seller : lilstev1e .. He usually has genuine ones on.. I have seen the alloy ones on bay and look ok ..
