My 855r, Front Replacement Bumper top!
One thing thats been buggin me about "Roundy" is her Front bumper top. Some numpty in the past had painted it badly, and this was peeling off! why oh why peeps paint there top bumper top's with cheap spray is beyond me.
Anyway i had a Spare Bumper top, so set about changing it over onto the R
Jacked her up Removed the undertray which was partially hanging off as one on the side mounts was splitting, x2 10mm held this tray on. Then took the Surrounds off from under the headlights.
Set about removing the various t25 torx screws which retain the bumper top to the alloy crash bar beneath. Whilst the bumper was off i cleaned behind the bumper, and the crash bar /headlights, there painted trim and intercooler, also polished the bottom of the wings which the bumper mounts to via to 10mm bolts with captive nuts.
Then i pushed the tab clips down which fit the bumper to to the R Bumper to remove the top. Then re fitted the new bumper top aplied plenty of Old engine oil to bring it back to a nice fresh Bumper look. Im soo pleased she looks so much better and the Engine bay is also getting there too.
Anyway heres some pic's, Poor quality as usuall lol

This is what happened to one of my Headbolts coming out, The machine shop Guy is coming round tomorrow fingers crossed he can remove the rest of the bolt. If not there will be same very nice Grey Panels up for grabs.
