LeeT Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 there very few aftermarket bumpers which can retain the impact bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Yeah, it's really only there to stop your rad getting punctured in a slow speed accident and to give something for the stock bumper to attach to IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psymon Posted March 27, 2006 Author Share Posted March 27, 2006 Guys... Wasn't too happy bout not having this fitted, so out with the angle grinder. The beam has 2 box sections, so I removed the bottom one and left the top box section in place, along with all 6 bolting points. Bumper now fits retaining so part of the beam any how....

absz Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 the cross member has to be removed in most cases relating to aftermarket bumpers. but the down side is that the front chassis legs are very easily bent/damaged when hit sideways. there is always a down side removing items that are fitted for safety reasons. but hey i removed mine who cares about safety when you can have looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
