help please!
« on: 04 July 2007, 10:32 »
bought a big bumper kit and decided to put it on my self havent touched the front bumper yet but when putting on the back one. the right hand side is done up. on the left the nut that WAS welded to the kit came off so the bolt is hanging there as well. any ideas was quoted 150-200 to put the kit on and sort out the nut situation!   :sad:

its prob worth them doing it for that... becase then you'll have warranty.. but it does seem a bit steep! (i could be wrong)

Just use Araldite to hold the bolt in place, if you use the correct glue, it will hold it enough. Or, take it back to where you got it!

£150 -200 is far too steep to simply weld a bolt to a bumper and do up 8 nuts! They're having a laugh!
