Astra GSI Front Bumper queries...

[DaveB]

Ive got:

GM front bumper
Brand New GM Front SPlitter

Brand new mounting brackets (centre,left,right)

Silly question (maybe!)

but the bolts for the front splitter? where do i get them? do i order em ? or can I attach it with anything?!?!

same question but re: the brackets....

[SimonP]

Vauxhall mate. Also, you may need the thin metal suppot that holds the splitter to the bottom of the bumper.

[DaveB]

really? **** **** ****

again:

part numbers etc etc? I really needed to get this on tonight, no chance of that now

[SimonP]

Reinforcment (90413828) £8.35
Reinforcment (90413829) £8.35

The small bolts should be listed with these. Hope these are right. Anyway, there are about 15 bolts for it I think.5 per section

[DaveB]

SO the three bits for the front splitter have cost me £43 inc VAT, now ive got to spend another £16 on them?

So thats £60 for a splitter I didnt fecking want. oh for feks sake. ****ing vauxhalls!

Thats it, its going on tonight with self tappers. **** all that ****ing ****.

[SimonP]

Just try first, with old screws, should be ok. if the splitter is new and not grounded out yet. They only fit that as a clamp so as the splitter doesn't 'split away from it's mounts. I ain't got the centre bit and it's fine.

[DaveB]

phew

Thats ok then. I will give that a shot tonight hopefully, i dont (think) this splitter should ground out. Although im sure I will try my best lmao

Si, ive decided not to bother with a square numberplate you will be glad to hear....

[SimonP]

Make sure you've got some large washer though.

No square number plate? Good. You going for a small one like Rob's?

[DaveB]

Washers? umm,I was just gonna use self tapping screws.! That held my ibiza splitter on for 8months and that thing took some serious! stick!!

Small one? nae, im not having one Gonna see how long i last with the

"****, no numberplate. It must have come off, dont worry i will buy one right away" lmao
