Ronnie..When fitting a glass front bumper (which tend to be a little wider than standard) you can space the bottom of the wings out to meet it...We do it on ours to give a little more room for tyre clearance anyway...
Just bust the welds here and space them out...The purists would never know

i also mounted the external extinguisher and battery cut off switches and fitted the extinguisher,

also offered the bumper up, pics will be up later, i'm not best pleased with the fit but it will do for now until we have more time to play about with it, it will just be bolt on for now and then i will get some more aerocatches and fix it on like the old one.




broadmoor, thanks for that mate i will do that, that is a good idea
