Hi guys,
Does anybody have a picture or drawing of how to attach the front bumper bar in US models.
Thank you
Andres

Are you talking about the "badge bar" that sits on top of the bumper?

Front and back. Is this good enough?

Indeed Arcturus, obrigado

Thank you Derek, I have the drawing, but it is not clear where it attaches, whn I got my car the bar wasnot attached. Do I assume that goes into the bumper bracket?

The ends fit using a bolt and washer upwards through the bumper ends I don't know if your bumpers are drilled for them without going back to your first posts. AFAIK the upper mountings go through a hole close to the edge of the wings and are then bolted sideways through the vertical sides of the nose panel. Again I don't know what holes you have there. Depends if this car has had a bar fitted or it has replacement wings. Are yours steel or fibreglass? Top fittings are a long way above the bumper bracket mounts. Strengthen top mount where needed, these are for parking nudge protection only.

Great advice Derek, I will look carefully at what I have and find the hole positions. Everything is steel.
Sincerely appreciate the help.
