    Default VP Bumper Bracket

    The left side of my front bumper on my VP is hanging down and is unroadworthy, what exactly needs replacing?

    I'm aware it's some sort of bracket, but how big is it and is it something I can pick up cheap?

    Cheers

    It's a plastic bracket with two guides, top and bottom, and it runs into. It's possible that it's simply fallen off the guides, and that they're not completely broken.

    Four bolts (18mm?) down the front of the car will remove the reo-bar, and you'll be able to slide the front bumper off and have a look

    Or theres 5 bolts holding the front bar to the reo, if thats easier. Reo is pretty heavy, more so if your not expecting it to fall on your guts.

    Alright, I've undone the 5 bolts, the bar is pretty loose, but I cannot get the right side off the side bracket.

    Any suggestions?

    It is designed to slide forward. Be careful not to pull too fast, as you'll snap the plastic mounts off.

    When you slide it, keep it level, and you should be alright.

    Great, got it, I would have snapped it otherwise.

    Thank you very much

    Hmm, I typed the number in Rare Spares and it come up as RH, although it says LH on it.
