Picked one up cheap off fleabay with all the brackets etc.

Got the fitting instructions off rave but still not 100% sure.

Anyone fitted one of these got any advice.

Assuming I need to use rivnuts???

Rave shows how to fit the brackets but can't understand the positioning measurements
Thanks

Chris
 
The soft one for the facelift? Fitted mine fine following the instructions, can't remember what came with the kit now, but drilling was required
 
When looking through Rave it seems youre supplied a template for the measurements when buying a new set.

If you drill all the holes in the bumper first, then you can get the approximate position for the mounts after it seems. Never mounted one of these so not 100% sure.
 
Yes. I thought it looked like there was a template

Long shot but i might ask my local friendly dealer to see if they can assist

Got the light pods to fit also and it looks as if they need a template too........ Bugger

Chris
 
It looks like if your car is newer than 06/2000 the template is not needed. Im breaking a 2003 model next week and can supply you with the measurements if needed..
 
Sods law..... My car is 06/2000

Will just have to get bumper off and have a look at what im faced with!!

The measurements would be great....... Or if you could do me a template brass rubbing style that would be even better!!!

Chris

Ps do you also have the light pods??
 
Haha what was the odds of that. Its a 5min job to take it off. So you might as well take it off and look.

I dont have soft a bar or light pods on mine. But was interested because i want both. My guess is they have marked/drilled the holes in the "newer than 06/2000" bumper support.
 
Well if the ice and snow hold off for the weekend I'll have a go and report back

Chris

Long shot I know but if anyone has fitted the bar and/ or the pods and still has the template I'd happily pay for it!!
 
Nightmare....... Got up this morning with a view to having a go at fitting the a bar .

Not got very far as I can't even get any of the self tappers out that hold bumper to arch liner :-(
 
Well you'll just have to give the bumper to me then. Such a shame. Wd40 overnight. Shock em with a hammer then replace with stainless steel
 
Ha ha ........ Tried all that........ Think I'll have to either drill them out or grind the heads off.

Getting too cold now so will have to wait till next weekend or take a day off if it's dry
