pulled of the drive, usually a little chaffage of the front rubber splitter on the dropped curb, but this time more of a wallop

hopped out to see my front bumper hangin off on one side

pushed it back on sort of, but it was dark and need to do it properly one night this week. is it held on by any bolts, cos if so i have probably broken them, and any clips etc.

can anyone tell me, or point me in the direction of a quick 'how-to' fit a bumper on a saff. its in for its mot on sat and need to do it by them

cheers guys

rory

 

anyone?

 

cable ties

 

probably more effective than the 'good will' its held on with ATM

 

Its held on by two bars that slot into the front crossmember and theres a couple of bolts (one either side in front of the wheels) denpeding on how badly its come off you may find that one of the bars has detatched itself from the bumper. I had this happen on my rear one when someone clipped it in a car park. It wasn't the easiest thing to repair.

 

was the first job i done when i bought my house, couldnt be on wid catching etc so i had it dropped to cure this best Ł600 i spent. you can see the kerb dropped in this pic

 

I ripped my entire front bumper off on my old Saff..... car was on drive, bumper was still in the road...lol It was then held on with some big cable ties and fitted much better than b4

 

just had a quick inspection... seems the front bars are intact but one of the side fittings has broken

its the part that slots in, thats cracked, theres a large flat part still on the inside of the bumper, and this has broken clean away from the prt with the round lug. if anyone understands

gonna hunt ebay for pics of a saff bumper fitting kit, to see if the bits are available

i have a dropped curb, its just the curve of the road that does the chaffing

 

you can buy the fitting kits from ford still mate but not cheap

the ones on ebay are more expensive than ford themselves i think

only pop rivited on

about 75 quid i think aswell

maybe cheaper

 

cable ties on mine

 

another way ive seen done is remove the insert and drill a hole behind the insert into the wing and using a long self tapper to hold the bumpers in place

cover it up with the insert

 

i think its the insert that i have broken


will get some pics to clear up confusion this afternoon

anyone got any pics of these ford kits, the bit i need, is big and flat, with a circular part in one corner. probably 5 inches high by 2 inches wide

 

ill get a pic for you in a little while

the insert i mean is teh bumper insert on the outside the plastic strip

 

this is teh pic of the brackets you get in the fitting kit

what always break
