[Mk2] [Generic] Fitting a new front lip ?

Post by RobPhoboS »

Hey guys,

If I get a chance this week I'll most probably try and fit a new front lip I picked up.
I'm just wondering before I start trying to take the other one off if there is anything in particular I'll need ?
ie: any adhesive etc

No adhesive just lots of nuts and bolts for when they factory fitted ones sheer off or you end up cutting them off.

Cheers,

I'll try and look at it at least today, sounds like it's worth picking up some nuts and bolts from a local tool shop.
Is there a particular size you'd recommend ?

And some big washers to spread the load. Make sure that the lip is even both sides as I had to elongate the centre 4 holes as it was drilled slightly incorrect.

Stuck the camera underneath it earlier to see roughly what it's like... looks like the current lip is held on with zip ties :clap:
