Title: Just had fun in rain with my bumpers and im left with a question
Post by: Haribo! on 14 March 2006, 14:42

ok so i spent a few hours on my knees in the rain putting my new big bumpers on what a horrible experience, but my question is why wont my fogs fit, they fit the bumper but the bumper wont go on with the them on so i had to put it on without them  :sad: what am i supposed to do about that???

Sorry can't help with your question but in reply to earlier if you have spare bumper brackets that slot on to the wing fixing on the I'll have them.

Let me know what you can do.

Many thanks
Charlie

Yup all the metal valance & plastic trim visible under the small bumper needs to come off, its not present on a big bumper MK2 :)

Hey Haribo I just got to say that the front end looks a whole lot better now with the big bumper set-up. Didn't want to say anything before but with the small bumpers the car looked awfully like a MK1 Fiesta  :sick: sorry.

Can't wait to see it finished and some decent pics up now though  :smiley:

Good job!
