Post by Spark » Tue Dec 29, 2015 2:10 pm

Hi
Could some one please show me how to finish of the rubbers when refitting the bumpers
Does the rubber wrap around and then under at the ends nearest wheels
Also the parts book shows a clip on the front bumper where does this fit

Any pics would be great thanks
Phil

Yes it is wrapped around the end and brought a bit back again. Look at the sticky factory pictures and you should see it. I cut mine a bit short before I found the correct distance in these pictures.

Dear Phil,

To get aroundf the 180' bend on the end, cut a notch out of the inner (unseen) part of the rubber trim.

kind regards
Marek
