Duncan, All you need is a five inch bolt. Thread that through the top and have fun! Thats what the guy did on my first turbo I bought. I'll see you over there.

after the final tidy up and 'venture shield / amourfend' has been applied.
Do you mean after paint cure time?

No, the paint is oven baked to cure. This is a plastic film that is applied over the paint on the front end of the car to prevent stone chips - a bit like the clear rear arch protectors but more flexible so it will stretch around the contours of the bumper and wings.

You may have understood that question, but the reason it was asked is that it is at least commonly believed that you should let new paint gas/cure for 30 days or so before applying a stone guard.

Ahhhh, this is what I meant when I asked what was planned for "Paint Protection". Properly applied, the products are virtually seamless.

Whatever happened to the SpeedsterS badge? Did the owner go badge delete?
