Default bumper fixing ideas

I'm after a few ideas on how to mount my bumper, i want it quick release,

on the side i will use aerocatches, just wondering what to use on the front?

i want something small and that wont look to obscure.

cheers

any pics would be a bonus too

You shouldn't need anything on the front Ronnie, the front slides into the chassis rails and the side catches will hold it fine, I have a 10mm bolt either side holding mine on the race car

Good thread! I've been looking at this and something decent as extra support on the front is what's doing my head in too.

Have you got space to have a recess fitted and some pins in Ronald?

yeah mate have room for recess

it's doing my head in too, the front bumper flops about all over the place and will be fitting a front splitter like yours so need it to be sturdy

Carbon Mods fella. But if you don't like the Ł60 for the fasteners just get some plywood. lol

That aint a joke though, make one out of wood, spray the fucker black, and you wont cry if you smash it off. Works the same
