Mk6 front bumper fits on the mk5 - NEW PICTURES

Postby MattBlackMinibus » Sun Jun 07, 2009 1:54 pm

Remove original bumper.
Drill two holes in the lower part of the front wings for the new end-caps,
(avoiding water bottle in passenger side).
Test fit, using bolts from old bumper into new bumper end-caps.
Test fit and make cut out for tow-bar,
also mark and cut centre section for tow-bar.
Join 3 sections of new bumper, stretch it on (it's a bit narrower),
and bolt on through wings.
Mark the gaps on top, underneath the headlights,
remove bumper again, and glass-fibre/fill/weld.
Paint + fit.
Trim tags underneath grille and re-fit.
Job done.

Looks a bit Essex with the different colour eh :wink:
Must go to Southend before I paint it :lol: (Ok, sorry, only jokin)

I've got it fitted, in red, and haven't filled the top gaps yet,
and have done about 3hundred miles with it only attached by the two end bolts.
It hasn't budged a mil.

It does look fat :D
I'll update this with some proper pics when it's filled and painted.
