Okay everyone, I have just fitted a fmic to my 2003 blobeye.

I've cut all the neccasary bits on the bumper to ensure it fits, but when I go to put the bumper back on I cannot get the side to line up like they did?

Is there anything I need to do different?

 

You obviously haven't cut enough away at the front mate and it's not going back far enough or able to rock up toward the wing to line up straight.
Just keep trimming small amounts off until it's a nice fit

 

Yeah I've done that mate, there's no obstructions.

Its where the wing meets the bumper I can't get it to a nice level fit.

It all looks like it should go nicely but its just not lol

 

put a pic up mate, have you got the bumper pushed correctly in the bracket on the wing, i.e.not above or below it.

 

Tubby, that bracket on the wing how does the bumper sit in that? Also there like a raised bit on the bumper ( closest to the wheel ) to me it looks like that's stopping it but it was on there before lol

 

it sits sort of inbetween the bracket, also is it clipped in correctly around the headlights.
as mentioned by another member above, it sounds like you either havent cut enough out around the intercooler or something is stopping it lifting up into correct position.

 

Okay thanks bud, will have a crack at it again tomorow and take my time..

Can't be that hard lol!

 

I've watched a guy who knows what he is doing fit one to a classic.

Took him around two hours.

But the fit is amazing.

 

Time for a map tweak now then Jamie ?? rb5 ready to rock n roll so if your
Up this way give us a bell !!

 

Yes! Should be going up to powerstation in a few weeks

All done now then? How is it? Ill deffinatly have to pop up been a long time waiting haha

 

Is it the fog lights/brackets in the way? I had to trim off some bumper in the fog light area too

 

yeh , all run in and mapped , just needs a tweak but running nicely !
