 |

I installed a new nose and rear end. these are not provided with holes for the bumper supports. Does anyone have any measurements or tips on how to get the holes in the right place?

Grab a piece of flat bar, dimentions close to bumper support - 30 x 4 cm. Slide it inside on the body where the bumper support mounts to the body and mark the points where it touch the body, drill 2 holes (upper and lower) from inside out. Now you have the position of the holes. The size can be determined by the rubber seals that slides over the bumper support and seal it against the body.

The bumper mounts in the front are also removed because new inside panels So that is not An option.
Also in the rear are new bumper mounts. But these positions are stock And Cannot bij placed at other positions… |

Hopefully these images help. I measured the width from the edge of the hole to the seam in the rear apron.
