Front Bumper

Postby 214si » Tue Jan 20, 2009 8:48 pm

where does it bolt onto lol???

does it go throught the slam panel?? or through the lower front valance???

i aint put her together yet and was just wondering what holds it in place as the brackets on the back of the bumper have a stepped plate with a thread on it but i cant see where it would bolt in place :lol:

Have a look at mine :D

You can see the black threaded holes where a bolt goes - this is what the v shaped bracket goes into that holds onto my chrome bumper.

Hope this helps :?:

is it a phase 1 or 2 that is a steel grille or plastic grille ,
because the the phase1 has an angle bolted to the front cross member and this bolts to the flange of the bumber
but the phase2 have a larger hole in the on the front so the bumper bracket goes through and bolt directly to the top face of the chasis rail.
hope it helps. :D
