Right I'm chilled , well not really but i've walked away from it tonight.

Apologies for the language folks, bit out of order on my behalf.

I'll see if I can find these brackets tomorrow.

I've found tinkering with the car either puts you on a massive high (when you achieve something and it all comes together) or a massive low (where everything that can go wrong does and you waste a load of time). I think anyone who's done any car diy gets it.

Can anybody help with the location of the bolts/nuts for the brackets the bumper slides into on the wing ? I have found 2 x 10mm self tapping bolts that are in the middle of the wing but do not appear to have anything to do with the bumper. I would take pictures but have just dropped/broken my phone and dropped the inter cooler in short order.

Honestly think Im cursed.

Its 2x 8mm nuts as I removed a pair yesterday.
Pull the bumper away from the arch gently as you undo the nuts as they have a tendency to rotate inside the plastic runner if you dont

Okay so in between work getting in the way I've been for a run around the block sans the bumper, all seems good. Front is back on oddly the bumper which didn't line up 100% has gone back marginally better (Im wondering if the car had a little biff on the nose at some point).
Not happy with the install so it all may come off again ....yes I'm <insert suitable adjective here>
