I'm Sagging

[iceman]

Well not me personally, the front bumper on the P1 on the passenger side is there a cure for this? I think some one said to me changing the clips holding on the bumper i could be wrong :)

I think it's just a case of having it re-fitted mate.

iam having mine plated/fibreglass by a body shop to give it a stronger support for the fixing points

I have done a few cars with sagging bumpers now. you need to take it off, check the bumper bar is straight first as they bend down.

I then fix M6 riv-nuts into the bumper bar and use bolts with large washers to hold the bumper solid.

Where they meet to the wing i use steel captive nuts and stainless bolts in place of the plastic stuff.

Its all solid then and wont go anywhere.

Subaru's plastic fixings are poo poo. Been thinking about re doing my splitter and bumber with proper nuts/bolts. Thanx Marky, you've answered a question I havent asked yet :D

Don't forget though lads, there the week link for a reason.....

When some numbnut spark run a cable tray under my car and I reversed without realising, the only damaged caused was to the plastic clips. If it was solidly fitted, then god knows what would have happened.

People have broken the clips reversing off kerbs. If you bolt yours on tight, be very carefull.

is there a fitting and removing guide anywhere for the front bumper?

[benm]

get the wheels off, jack the car up.

grill /headlamps/sidelights/indicators out/driving lamps out.
undertray off ( i think not got mine on anymore)
undo the plastic clip in the wheel arch, then you can peel the plastic back a bit to get to the clip holding the bumper to the wing.
undo the central bolt below the number plate
undo the row of bolts on the bumper bar.

think thats it. :wink:

I think I pointed out to him at the time that jacking it up 1st might be an idea :wink:
