Bumper piping!!

Postby Gus!! on Tue Jan 21, 2014 3:45 pm

I have gone back to poverty spec bumpers on the fez, I have been offered a front bumper with overriders for the si ones which I think is a fair swap. My question is, how much of a pain in the ass will it be to put the 'chrome' piping out of my bumper into the one with overriders??

Cheers guys

I buy mine off ebay. It's rubbish though, have to replace it every couple of years.

Assuming we're talking about the same stuff, I've found about 5 or 6 different people selling the stuff :lol:

Bumper is ready for the piping to go on, however, the stickyness has gone from the piping, can anybody recommend something to use to re stick it?? I also have an xr2i spoiler I need to stick on, what would people use for that??
Cheers

A little tiger seal or sikaflex mate should do the trick

That might be a good shout Christina as I think that's what it was originally!! And I could drill the holes and fit the spoiler that way but I don't wanna ruin the boot!!

Unless you get decent heavy duty body shop tape I wouldn't bother as it will eventually fall off , and tiger seal does also stick spoilers on , and its that tough you could probably jack the car up off it if you wanted mate , so you can avoid drilling holes in your boot if you. Want too

if your using double sides tape buy 3m stuff it worth the money also heat it up a bit like leave it on a radiator for a min or 2 it will stick a lot better
