    Help and advice with bumper fittings

    So peeps I have the RS2 front bumper fitted but the fixings which are supposed to be on the inside of the wheel arch have been missing for years any idea what they are and where to get or what I can use instead. It's now falling off the car so can't leave it any longer

    If you mean the plastic mountings that are bonded to the inside of the bumper, then I have exactly the same issue as they are completely missing on my bumper. I've asked a couple of times if anyone knows of a solution and I haven't received any response. My plan was to make new ones out of steel and bond them on with a flexible adhesive such as Sikaflex and rivet them in the factory position. I've got no idea how well this will work, and the fabrication will be time consuming, but it's simply the only solution I can think of given the skills and equipment I have, and the lack of any available replacement item.

    My only other thought was whether the same part from another bumper, perhaps FE Cabriolet, could be adapted to work.

      inside the wheel arch?

      There are just 2 bolts M6 I think, through the arch liner, the end of the bumper into threaded holes in the wings.

      Are you saying your wings don't have the holes in them? Not sure what is 'missing'...

            I wouldn't... they will sieze after a year... you will never get them out... use spring clip things... won't spin if they sieze...
