Thanks! :woohoo:

Some more bits arrived this week, from KAP this time...

Rear corner bumperettes -



No time to fettle and fit this week though

And the front bumper trim -

Ya I like it such a simple but effective way to do it. Sorry but I mite have to steel the idea. the way I done them with window rubber etc was a right pain but this is much easyer

Looks good Dave does it have a plate to cover that exposed area under the bumper

Not yet, need to stare at it for a while and work out what would look right...

You're very welcome to be inspired by my amateur attempts

Mmm very nice
what's the fixings like on the kap bits Dave

Jack

What fixings? :laugh:

how they mount to the body
especially the rear corners as i was thinking about getting some
because i've have had to modify my rear corners due to rust

Jack

How much are they if you don't mind me asking

There aren't any fixings included...

I haven't any spare time this week/end so I'll probably be fettling and fitting next week now...

I just offered them up to have a look at how the looked and fitted, the front will need aligning and holes drilling to match original bumper mounting holes under the bonnet and where they attach to the front edges of the front wings; the rears mount to the back edge of the rear wings using the two big self tapping screws, and then to under the back door... somehow?

More soon...

Pretty self explanatory really. The screw through the side goes straight into the body. The 2 in the arch go into the existing captive nuts. I did have to grind/bend/tweak the metal arch extension to suit. A standard slitting disc works well on the fiberglass if you need to trim the corners themselves.

He wasn't kidding when he said "what fixings?" When I spoke to Darren @ KAP he said they usually glue them on.
