matth76 Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 Hi Has anyone got pics of how their standard black rubber lip/strip looks like (quite close up pics) which is just under the front bumper at the bottom? Only reason I ask is because mine seems to hang down too low exposing some patchy looking metal behind it (its patchy because I assume the rubber was originally glued or stuck to it). I'm assuming the rubber strip/lip is supposed to cover this metal and was originally stuck somehow to the metal. Is the rubber strip quite easy to remove and re-adjust or move upwards a cm? Also does anyone know how much a replacement rubber strip is because mine is badly scraped? Thanks for any help and info. Quote
captain Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 I've got lots of pics of "lip underneath front bumer" but I can't post them here........ Perhaps you need a re-type. Quote
Stew Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 I don't but if nobody posts up pics I'll take some as my OEM bumper is lying in the garage so can easy sort some out. Quote
M13KYF Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 shouldn't hang down. From memory there is about 5 little clips that screw into the underneath of the bumper and the undertray. Only image i've got is this but perhaps not close enough Quote
Chris`I Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 There is a strip across the OEM bumper that this should sit on, then 5 or so U shape clips hold them in place. It should sit flush against the bumper Quote
matth76 Posted December 28, 2009 Author Posted December 28, 2009 Thanks guys. Sounds like mine has probably had a scrape at some point and has made it hang down slightly. I suspect a few of the U-shape clips have probably come off at some point. I'll try and get hold of some. Thanks for the help. Quote
chris84 Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 mine seems to expose some metal at the top of the rubber strip like it has slipped down. Think that may be my fault though, run it along the ground a few times taking some getting used to having a low front end. heard some horror stories about problems with ferries etc which is making me reconsider my venture to europe in spring.

PKAT Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 Mine has slipped too. I guess its a new version of the old "Charlie's dead" notification. Now you boys won't get that... Quote

maz77 Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 are you talking about the tiny lip where the front bumper meets the undertray? I got some pics you can tell it had few intimate moment with the tarmac Quote
