Mine was set there for added strength  :wink:  When you take the plastic cover off you'll see the strengthening bar which runs across the boot lid; mine avoids cutting this so its stronger and less filler is required

I wonder if its still working........

Cheers mate lol

One of my mates was stripping his show car so I bought it off him for 400 sold my old r32 bumper for 250 which I picked up for peanuts so I got a good deal

they do sell for crazy money but once in a while you can pick them up cheap. Stay away from the one on eBay was reading on another forum that they are copy bumpers an there just using the press photo of the r line bumper
