Rear crash bar
« on: 17 December 2013, 12:31 »
Has anyone had their rear bumper off? I took mine off today prior to it being re-painted and noticed that where the steel crash bar bolts on, there are three bolts on the offside, but only two on the nearside. The bar has three holes in it on the near side, but there is no corresponding hole in the rear panel.

All the paint and seam sealer on the rear panel look original, so I'm pretty sure it hasn't been replaced, even tho' the bumper has been repainted at some point. I just loos a bit odd.

That's just what mines like. Well I'll go to the foot of our stairs.

Lol, weird though but they must have never bothered with the other bolt.
