    Smile VP SS front bar installing (including fog lights)

    well ive finally got a genuine vp ss front bar with foggies for my ss!

    ive put the front bar on but it looks like it needs to be pushed up to be flush with the headlights because there is a small space... also havent put in the foggies because im not sure yet

    anyone be able to give me a brief explaination of putting on the foggies, then putting on the front bar?

    as im not sure if i did it properly

    Here are a couple pics
    Thats how they are meant to sit, mite have to move the reo bar mount point back a bit, jst undo it slightly then try push the bar back.

    There should be no gap.

    Did u get the lower lip, the fog bezzle inside edge will sit inline with the grill cut outs it the bar n lip.

    Stealthy mite come along drop a pic of his with the lip on

    ive read that urethane doesnt stick to some plastics?

    i have the bumper that is a black pastic underneath, and the spoiler is a yellow plastic underneath

    would i need to use different glues?

    hey, i'm just digging this because i screwed the foggies i scored (from a vp calais) onto my reo bar, and then sat my bumper over the top, and it doesn't look right when i look at calais_cruzin's shot above.
    here's how mine sit behind the bar, i thought before i dummy fitted that you'd only need to cut the bit i drew in green, but it looks like i'll need to cut the bit marked in blue, is that right?
