Bumper Tuck

Recommended Posts

Been wanting to do this since i got the exhaust fitted so finally got round to doing it. Was actually having a look at the drop links to put some spray grease on to see if they'd stop clicking for a while and ended up doing the bumper tuck as it seemed fairly simple. The rear bumper's not been attached at the bottom since i got it, so decided that it was time to stop it from flexing so much and fix it also.

 

Once i was under i found i could gain access to the old white mounts fairly easily with a long screwdriver, however one of the screws was rusted and rounded off, so i ended up snapping it out with a bit of brute force and a large pair of pliers.

 

Once the white mounts were removed and using some amazing gymnastic contortionisms i managed to secure the bumper up and out of the way. I then proceeded to fix the bottom half, sadly one of the bolts was snapped into the mount and i didn't have a removal tool on me so i've cable tied it for the time being. There's a slight buldge in the middle but i can live with that till i figure out how to straighten it!

All in all a productive afternoon.

 

Top tip of the day: If a mate asks to have a sit in the driver's seat whilst you're under the car kindly refuse him this request until you have safely removed yourself from underneathe. Especially if he's a large lad.
