Re: [Mk2] [NA] Black Top Beams Engine - Anybody fitted one?

This is my aw11 blacktop beams conversation, it does fit but bloody tight. I've only got a few wire to do then it will be up and running

Re: crash bar ripped off wile towing (pics)

I made some rightangle brackets from ali sheet Fastened them to the bumper cover with M6 nuts & screws, inside the hole where the lamp sits The screws don't show That was my orignal plan do you not have that bar on yours too then? Bad luck about the backing rail and bumper. The car i've just bo...

Yeah I wish I had seen the second ones underneath before I attached it the the front one. Even if the bar was new it can't be very strong.

I would just silicone the indicators in for now, easy to reverse in the future too :thumleft: Yeah i found that after it ripped off and finished towing it home using that one. Silicone sounds like an easyer than my idea of ma...

Re: crash bar ripped off wile towing (pics)

Bad luck, those towing eyes on the bumper bar probably made sense when the cars were new and the bumper bars were intact but many have come a cropper since :pale: Cable tie stitches are a nice touch though! I name thee, Scarface :clap: Yeah i found out the hard way that mine was made of rust lol. S...

Re: crash bar ripped off wile towing (pics)

It was the top bracket that snapped, it really would be an achievement. To snap the other one. Had a desaster day yesterday, my mate was towing me home and we hooked the rope to what I thought was a towing eye that attached to the crash bar. Long story short I don't have aa crash bar any more. I the...
