Guest Doberman Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 The car is now in the workshop for fitting and paintjob of the new fender(whifbitz) but the fitment is terrible. Does anybody else have any experience about this fender and fitting? First of all i cant use the bumper beam at all? and second, exspecially around the left headlight, the fitting is terrible, and the workers can seem to figure a way to fix it since its made of fiberglas, and cant be bend to much. If this doesnt fit, i will find another brand that will fit 100%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ark Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Most bumpers require the front crash bar to be removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broomie Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) I have a whifbitz front fitted to mine which fitted fine but recently damaged it so ordered an exact replacement from whifbitz and there was no way in the world it was gonna fit so ended up repairing the old one, absolutely terrible not what you expect from a £500 bumper. sounds like there using a different mould to make them these days. Good fitting one below. Edited May 8, 2009 by broomie (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Paul has sold a lot of these kits with little complaints and has fitted them to cars he sells with very good results so not sure why you are having issues to be honest! I'm sure Paul will be able to advise you on how to fit this properly and if it is a defective product, then he needs to know and maybe have it back to replace it. Rather than starting what in affect is a complaint/dispute thread, speak to Paul as Whifbitz have been around a long time with lots of satisfied customers, largely due to their good customer service and ability to resolve problems amicably.
