jevansio Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I bolted mine to the stock lower lip, as the stock lip is U shaped in profile you can bolt to it without it being visible from the front, I used the metal strips that would have attached the lip to it's normal mounting to secure it and spread the load of the bolts to prvent tearing of the plastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey. Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 I found these pics earlier jev, but surely that lower bumper lip only has a tiny lip on the back of it and I can't imagine being a ble to bolt to that ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 It's def possible bud, remove the stock lower lip from the car to make working with it easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Oh yeah, it's a right PITA getting the bolts in from behind, that's why it's easier to do it off the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey. Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 I've only tried it with the car 10 inches off the floor! Do u know what I'm saying about the lack of lip to bolt too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsween Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Remember to fit these at the ends so that you keep the correct shape and look Finished article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsween Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Remember to use washers to distrute the load aswell as the brackets. If you dont have locking nuts use 2 torqued together so they dont back off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Bumper off?? Doh, gunna take longer than I first thought, how long did it take u, removing bumper, fitting splitter and then refitting bumper??? Not just bumper off, I removed the lip from the bumper, I dunno prollyy a full day/weekend to get the fit I was happy with http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d7/monsween/Photo1026.jpg Remember to fit these at the ends so that you keep the correct shape and look http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d7/monsween/Photo1038.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d7/monsween/Photo1032.jpg Finished article http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d7/monsween/Photo1027.jpg If you look closely in my pics you will see I used a zip tie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the lip is very small, but it is possible whilst still retaining a strong holding point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
