doubt it will see the road.but if it did it wouldnt be left anywhere :) plus the bumper would be useless as it has no fixings :lol:

im thinking of it for the xr mate, if i can fit in just below the front lip on the front panel it may fit on the outside, giving more room on the inside, which i may need if i go ahead and fit aircon to the xr2

Jon - I need some help....

Your front wings, how do they ajoin to the front panel just under the headlights?



I know they willprob use the original bolts at back of wing (by doors) and then bolted along the top.

Not sure how secured if at all to the front? :)
