So the removal of the bumper was pretty straight forward. However, I seem to have missed the part where the bumper needs to be cut for these ducts to fit. Does everyone cut? It seems that if you cut to much you won't be able to fit fogs ever again.

All I thought was necessary was to drill out the bumperette rivet and drill one screw mounting hole.

Maybe these will help.

Which ones did you get? I have the rennspeed, and I just cut an oval behind them to match the opening of the duct. I left the fog light mounting points intact, just in case. I just bought FVD ones to replace mine and they also fit no problem.

You must have the backmount style ducts right (no screw in from the front) which necessitated the bumper removal?

Mr.Alex

Vandit, you are always my savior. DIY after DIY. I don't know how I didn't bookmark that thread, I had several others saved, and I even remember reading that thread when looking into netting for the ducts. But its all done now, thanks again.

I got the Culk-Werke ones on the group buy, I just cut the square but also kept the fog light mounting points.


Yea, the Cult-Werke ones mount from the rear. Thanks for your input on fb aswell.



Crappy cell phone picture.

Good timing.

I just ordered cult works

Didn't realise I need to take bumper off

oh well something new to learn

Mr.Alex

Its actually much easier than I thought, I just followed this picture. The only somewhat tricky part was lining up the hole to drill for the inner mounting point.

Order I'd do is:
Lights >Fender Liners > Under Trays > Three mounting bolts on each side > lastly the 4 screws under bonnet. Just don't forget that when you pull it off the fog light connections are still in tact. I had two boxes on each side to support the bumper while I unplugged them.

Thanks but that looks horrible to me I've never taken the wheel liners of either. I'm also imagining that all my screws and bolts heads will be rusted away.

Might be a step too far I thought you would just remove the lights and stick them in

My biggest issue is single garage is very tight so I'll have problems getting at the sides or even jacking it up.

It's not something I'm going to be able to start in winter and pick at

Hhmmm

Mr.Alex

I used a wide plank of wood and jacked under the tub; then I just placed some small 2 ton jack stands at the front points. I'm a newby DIY guy, and I was putting this off for the longest, but I had the bumper down within an hour. None of the bolts came me trouble however.

Pesty

Ok thanks that's interesting. is there a pic of where to put the plank or what do you mean by tub.

thanks

Vandit

The front tub. There the spare tire reside. Use a piece of wood to distribute the force across this whole area.

Pesty

Thanks

Mr.Alex

Just as Vandit said. If your car is lowered though, I'd suggest driving the front wheels on some planks also, to give you enough clearance for jack with the plank on it.
