Because the PIU bumper was not pre-drilled for the mounting, with access for the attachment of retaining clips, had to pre-mount them; then when on car found that clearence was insufficient to get bulbs in and out Will get it done and result will be fine, but must have taken me >8 hrs so far 997 C4S

PIU bumper was not pre-drilled for the mounting fog lights like.. for example original Cadamuro bumpers, because is better if you fit fog lights with grill together.. I'm waiting for pictures..

At least that explains where I went wrong 997 C4S

You can adjust the rubber bonnet rests at the front, it seems a little higher on the left on the pictures... Also, whats the thing sticking out of the front grill?

That "thing", is extra the Road-Angel laser detector - I have subsequently tidied up the installation a bit. Colour match from Mariusz is excellent 997 C4S
