6 Hours so you did it yourself then :lol:
Hehe, nah serious though looks different (bare) without your bull-bar there, you need some spots now :wink:
-
Anyway what's the difference between your new (second-hand one) and the old standard one you've just taken off :?:
Thicker steel :?:
See you now have no end caps and the front valance has gone but what is the difference between your bumper and standard LR ones :?:
-
difference?
doubt you could lift your car off the floor with the standard one mate!
got hi lift points on it and recovery eyes. although these were also on the guard
it was erm fun putting it on
managed to bend the hi lift top bracket...
now am defo on the purchase of a radiator after seeing it for myself with grille off!
[!Expletive Deleted!] its no fins!

Before you do give B&J Radiators at Little Hulton a try 0161 7996210
I had a rad for the Punto from them, and it was about the cheapest I could find.

:shock: how?
i've got the adapter now and it lifts really sweetly. even a girlie can do it... :wink:
and how come 6 hours?
took hubbs and me that to take the old one off and then fit the new one and steering guard.
Mind you, the latter strained his back. (nuffin to do wiv me mate!)
recovery eyes? have you fitted extra ones, the swivel kind? My steering guard has two very meaty eyes so I havn't bothered with extra ones.
-
from what i remember
the steering guard wasnt made exactly right (isnt long enough to reach the steering box bolt and the other side's bolt
it would fit after a lot of work with a normal bumper.. BUT the HD bumper is thicker so tried to use hi lift to squeeze the bumper brackets closer so it would fit.. hence the bent top bracket
-
ah, now I see.
actually my steering guard didn't quite fit either but was only a milimetre or two out so wellied it in. hence simon's back strain.
-
ok im posting to say big thanks to disco inferno for fitting the bumper
