Aero catch front bumper
#1
For the people that have done it, or half done it. How did you decide where to drill/cut? Got some ready but dont want to dive in a butcher the bumper.

I've not done it but I would assume the best place to do it is by the original mounting points of the bumper.

Get under the car and mark where the slam panel sits on the bumper as best you can. There are lots of good flat mounting points available in the area of the standard bolts.

Then decide on a place that works and give it ago.

Or take bumper and slam panel off.

Alternatively nip down the scrappy and get an old bumper to practise with.

We did it on one side of Grants old car (then never got round to doing the other). Not going to lie, its a bastard of a job.
On the slam panel there is another square hole next to the bumper threaded stud holes. We bolted the threaded bar bit of the aero catch into there then you can keep the bumper studs to help locating (and put the nuts back incase you leave it somewhere it may get nicked lol)
