fitting vy ss front bumber

[seantaaffe]

i recently wrecked my front bumber and to save money was thinking about refitting it myself. does any one have an idea of how difficult this would be to do and what kind of tools i would need to do it ?

easy as mate, clip it in at the sides, there are three screws across the top of the grill, there are 2 in the wheel arch and then there are a couple of clips in the middle hole behind the number plate, although i dont think the clips are absolutely necessary. Thats pretty much it.

Yep. Nothing a phillipshead and small flat blade screwdriver can't handle.

Remember to place a doona/blanket on the ground in front of the car so that when you drop the bumper whilst you're trying to fit it ... it doesn't re-scratch it.

Best to fit it with 2 people as well, less juggling.

:yup: makes it much easier, one each side, clip it in, chuck a screw in the top and then you can just go around and chuck the other screws in...
