One for Mike T maybe?

Unread post by Gibbo2286 »

On my back bumper this bit's missing, asked at the dealers and they want damn near thirty quid for it unpainted and need to order it in from the factory, I thought sod that, it's tuppence worth of plastic.

I've got a suitable bit of plastic cut to size but I need to know how it's held in place, anyone know?

Beat me to it, old-un!

How crazy that despite it being tethered someone still managed to lose it. :roll:

I think it must have got ripped off when the guy trailered it round to my place, he used the tow eye to load it and tie it down, I went and had a search for it round the field it was parked in but no luck.

If you can't find a way to securely and neatly fix your replacement piece Gibbo, it might be worth exploring a local 3d-printing service?
