Yep, They fit well if you know what you are doing. Get the gap at the back of the bonnet even , even means exact both sides. If the bonnet sits up in the center at the back take the bonnet off, place it on a flat floor take a height measurement from floor to high area back of the bonnet push the bonnet down carefully with your hand or foot to reduce the height measurement by approx. 6mm. Trial fit bonnet ,and hold guards in place with self tapper screws the curve at the front of the guards does not match the bonnet curve exactly this is standard, I rework guard edge to fix the problem no plastic filler required. Make sure when you fit the front panel it is bolted to the sub frame . Also check measure the front panel to make sure it is the same distance both sides from the firewall .Use 2 common points each side for this operation. I have seen the guard pushed back to match the front panel then the bonnet will not fit. ALWAYS trial fit all panels .I always get these panels fitting better than new without much problem. No body filler required ,You can plug MIG the panels or use an Inverter spot welder ,the Inverter spot welder makes a beep when the weld is complete. Take your time and you should be ok.Also use copper based weld through primer on all joins. p7676 |
