ok some of you know i had some problems with my new front bumper and i have been thinking today as the holes which are to small are the dummy lights what do you guys think it would look like if i filled in the holes completely and didnt have them on the car. i know the 2nd pic has them in and looking ok but they dont fit at all they are wedged in

just sand the opening a little. do it top and bottom and that should give you a few good mm

Also you should be able to have a little off the lights, filling the holes in sounds a bit drastic lol!!!

Get rid of the fogs, crystal clear indicators and mod the unit to accept the side lights, and fit some of car mads fog light ducts.

 

What bumper is that? looks like a scarab.

Very nice either way.

Yeah is the scarab by the looks of it. If he got the fog ducts, they will need to be sanded down as well, but its all easy to do :)

Ok I will have a go at that cheers guys the place I got it from called it a terminator but it does look like the scarab thanks again

where did you buy it from mate ebay?? got a link??

Yeah I got it from eBay the company is called alternativemotorsports on the plus side I have just spend an hour working on the bumper and the lights finally fit whooo cheers for your help guys

just done a test fit for my bumper and its even worse than that one its about 2" to short on both sides and it wont fit over the front cross member i feel the company will be getting a nice visit this week at some point and they may get a bumper shoved where the sun dont shine

I think you have to take the cross member off to fit this bumper. It has no structual use, just there to help fit the fog lights iirc?

thats the problem because mine is a uk spec thats where my side lights and indicators are :( also the front tow hook is in the way and its welded on so im going to have to find a way of bending it or cutting it off

or get a bumper that fits!

If your not going to say anything usefull don't say it at all this is a serious matter I don't have the money just to throw around and get a new bumper

serioulsy mate ..take it back is not an aoption as you have modified it and they will probably be able to tell ..its not as sold to you and unfortunatley they have the legal right not to accept it....the only recourse would be through a small claims court and have them on item sold not fit for purpose, hopefully they will not inspect it as they know its a bad fitting item anyway and give you a refund....good luck whatever way you go .....
