Can someone check the spacing (CM) of those mount holes on a genuine bumper for me?
The fronts I need to establish if the general mounting brackets will fit my bumper?
I'm only interested in the main four holes and the one on the right next to right top mounting hole.
If the ones on the wing are stock then in theory all brackets should fit?

Pattern brackets are shorter in material.
A pattern bracket can work on genuine bumpers but only be screwed by the top holes. Still does the job.

So im guessing the genuine brackets can screw into the top holes only. You might need some washers.

Then you could drill holes into a genuine bracket for the bottom two. copy the screw holes from the pattern to the genuine.

Not perfect as there is a scuff, but painters will sort that out quick time.
Both fogs are smashed, but got a spare one chucked in for free I have now three right handed fogs just need a lefty  :grin:
Bumper Iron is solid no rust for a change! Even came with the chassis mounting legs  :shocked:
Splitter is in okay shape which was chucked in aswell  :cool:

Dont start hacking things until you have found out why it's drooping... if it's not the Bumper Sliders I would be looking at the bumper metal frame work...

You may just need to adjust it with washers etc..
