I think, that only mesh obstructs.. greencoop27 see there.. Last edited by Mariusz; 18/04/2006 03:11. AutoDS Team Poland Fiat Coupe Spoilers www.autods.net 10% Discount Coupon: fccuk

But the pics will come I'm not sure on the mesh now it's here though, I'll fit it to the car and see how I feel about it two weeks later Coopless!

I don't think you need them anyway with this bumper, and It didn't seem to fit with them on. Did you drill holes into the bumper? as there appears to be mounting brackets but no holes in the bumper to fit the screws. Thanks mate Coopless!

Anonymous Unregistered A	your coupe must be in very good condition, all bright colours are more prone to fading, so you paint is in very goood shape. still good work from Mariusz. Its probably to late now but dont wax the bumer for at least another 2weeks, if you wax it you coat it in a layer that traps the sovents etc in and doesnt let them evapourate, which means the paint wont harden fully. If you have already then dont worry it doesnt make a massive difference. Paul R

Paul R Exactly what I'm doing paul I remember on high octane the DVD Ketzal stirling's MR2 went for a respray and the chap at the sprayers said let the paint breathe for two weeks before waxing.

Thanks mate I have did for Greencoup holes for halogens and gril but nobody does this (Cadamuro etc..), AutoDS too. If you have these parts removed, this will be 5 minutes of work.

Anonymous Unregistered A	looks very nice pinin as mariusz said i had the holes already drilled for me but its easy job to do this just go slow so the fibre glass does nt split,my pace fmic was fine as it was it cleared the bumper but the oil cooler & the bumper padding i chopped down to fit snug,also the sides of the bumper stuck out slightly so i drilled another 2 holes either side & zip tyed it to the arch lining looks much nicer fit,if u get stuck pm me ill be happy to help
