    Default hanging bumper

    Hello,

    I'm working on making my vn roadworthy, I'm stuck trying to correct the front left side of the bumper, its come off the small nipple thing it sits on and I've tried and tried to get it back on, how do I reattach the plastic bracket to the small nipple? when I've tried the front left quarter panell is obscructing, it seems like could connect the bracket to the nipple then slide the bumper on but is thier an easier way?, as I dont want to stuff the other side or do I have to remove the whole bumper?

    thx in advance for any help

    A power drill and cable ties. That's the best way to refit those little slide brackets. That way, next time the car is stacked, the cable ties snap and the brackets fall off instead of breaking. Then you're only up for a handful of cable ties, instead of new brackets.

    Undo the bolts and slide the bumper forward, then you can slide it onto the little brackets.
