Default Euro Bumper Install Question

so I finally got around to starting this project today after coming back from Pelican's C&C and seeing all those beautiful P-cars...

three questions please for you bumper experts...

a) do my seals look aligned ok before I try gluing things in place?

b) do the staples go near the middle part of the seals (1) or closer to the rolled edges (2)?

c) there are two rubber parts that came with the bumper and I have no idea where they go?

thank you

for me the most important part of colin's instructions was the 1st sentence of post #2.
it doesn't look correct while installing, but once the bumper cover is on the car it looks perfect.
so don't try to line up the rolled edge, focus on aligning the flat inner edge when gluing.
in your pics the edge looks off in a couple places.
staples go close to the rolled edge, in the #2 spot in your pic.
those two rubber parts are not for the bumper cover, they support aircon lines.
unless you drilled out the rivets on your old bumper to reuse the retaining strip you'll need to get
two of those, 993 505 735 01.

That looks great! Did you have to get new front wheel well liners for the WB bumper?

hi there...I purchased new wheel liners from Sunset bc Luke said the front wheel liners were different for the Euro Turbo Bumpers....when I took off my old ones, they were the same!

just a side note...if you are planning to use T50 1/4 staples, I would recommend getting slightly longer ones, maybe 3/8, if you plan on folding them up to secure....the 1/4 staples work fine but were not long enuf to fold...
