Just swapped my old cracked bumpers for newly painted ones today.

 

Bit of trepidation due to long and detailed idiots guides that I've read.

 

However, it all went well. The rear took longer due to the boot being dismantled to get all the nuts.

 

One thing - after the car was bolted back together - we found a piece of moulded polystyrene that fell out of the old front bumper - we left it out.

 

It looked like it was shaped for a reason but couldn't work out it's usefulness so it stayed out!!

 

Any obs?

Not yet. still got the mud flaps to put on and the black tape that fits in the bumper grooves.

 

I've had the bumpers smoothed. Looks OK

 

Piccies next week.

The foam comes with all standard fr bumpers! ;)

 

I chucked mine out, along with the hose pipes for the front (windscreen!) headlight squirters, when i changed to a jap spec fr bumper.

Anyone know the size and types of the screws, nuts etc that fit the spats back on the rear bumpers? Mine are all seized up. ta

Here's the before and after shots - you decide.

 

First 3 shots are the old uns.

 

Last lot are new but taken in a rush so maybe not as high res as I'd like.
