3gdean Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 at the bumper corner its a 8mm self tapper, which goes into a plastic clip that opens up when tightened, or you could use a "speed" clip the second nut and bolt you mention shouldn't be there, it should be a rectangular clip, this just supports the bumper doesn't tighten up. these break easily as the plastic goes brittle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougie Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 i need to sort mine out, the bumper isn't fitting right on the passenger side and every time i walk by that corner i end up giving the bumper a shove back under the headlight, doing my head in, i think its the bolt into the wing that isn't tight enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiNK43 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 we call those spire clips or something at work. yeah i reckon theyd do it. 2nd link im talking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3gdean Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 yes 2nd linky would do a better job than the plastic clip, will give a tighter fit and will far outlast the plastic clip, especially if you think you'll be whipping the bumper off a few more times. ive got a set of these, they are really useful, you could replace the ones in the bottom of the bumper as these tend to seize, also used them for a sound build ...

Krzys Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Sounds good to me! What size did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3gdean Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 the 1 set on the website, they are for self tappers, so you could get awaywith using any of them really, maybe not big ones as these will protrude from the back of the wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Ah right, I've got the original bolts if that makes any difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
