The skirt/bumber on the Scoob has developed a bit of 'play'. Is there a science to locating & tightening the fixings or can any old 'DIYer' (me) do it ?

Cheers

Alex

You will have to:

Take out the inner wing plastics.

This will allow access to the crappy plastic lugs each side of the underneath of the front wing.

I took my plastic lugs out (Which hold the sides of the bumper up to the front wings) and replaced with Stainless bolts and washers.

The only thing that holds the bumper on is about 8 of these plastic / lug / screw combinations
