Default fitting fog light covers v5/6

my heap never came with the fog light covers so I have had to get some myself.

Thing is, not sure on how to fit them, does anyone have a guide? I did run a search but couldnt find anything.

Is it just a case of getting a long enough screw and screwing it right into the bumper?

I dont have pics unfortunatly but there are the fog lights in place

you run one or the other, the fog covers dont cover the lamp, they only cover the gap if you dont run with fogs.

To fit your fog covers, remove the lamp and fit the cover

Will bolt into the bumper as below, would give import car parts a ring as it is not listed on their site

cheers banny, that makes sense. I may get a long screw and find a point on the bumper so it sits nice n flush

bigsigh - they fit over the fogs fine and sit flush

Am pretty sure the foglights have to be removed before covers are fitted. From what I remember the brackets and foglights use the same mounting holes for the screws to fit so you wont be able to fit both - However let me know if you manage to fit the covers over the foglights.

Here is what she looks like with them on with fogs on underneath

There are two groves on the cover that slot in to slits in situ on the bumper.

I can drill out the the covered hole in the fog light cover and then use a long screw to directly mount it in to the bumper (perhaps?)
