Hey all, got myself a hold of some type r bumpers in red :).

So far iv managed to get the front splitter off them with ease and its awaiting paint.

My question with the front bumper is are the hoels already there, I can see a few and it looks like it. And the small plastic type splitter tha njuts out of the bottom of the front bumper, how does one go about removing this?

As for the rear im struggling to remove the rear splitter as its held on with captive nuts and bolts which are a bit rusty! hopefully I can source some new ones or is it recommended to try save the ones on it :/

Cheers Steve
 
My advice would be to trial fit them before having them painted to the car.

I think you need to remove the underside lip around the front bumper and this will go on, could be wrong. For my civic coupe holes were there already.

For the rear I would try and save the bolts and replace them with like for like. Try not to damage the lip when dismantling esspecially the mounting holes on it. Remember bolts can ve replaced but if you damage the mounting bracket/holes it will be a poor and loose fit
