    Help! REAR Euro Bumper Install

    I am in the middle of installing the REAR Euro Bumper. I need help, Im trying to figure out where to drill a hole for the bracket.

    How many holes?
    Where exactly?

    Can somebody mark for me where to drill the new holes for the brackets.


    Thank you.

    I have 2 holes on each side drilled. I put the bumper up to it and marked the holes and then drilled them. It is way above the stock mounting place.

      are the brackets supposed to be vertical (shown in the pic) or horizontal?



      Thank you

                  When i put mine on, i put it where the red dots are. But i recently took a rear bumper off of a Baur and it was mounted on where i got the green dots. So i think i mounted mine on wrong but it fits, so it don't matter to me.



                  And that euro bumper in the picture looks fimilar? Oh ya it's on the back of my car :p

                        The brackets are cheap from the dealer. I mounted mine with the green dots as pictured above.

                          Euro Bumper

                          Figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. I've been looking for a rear euro bumper, do you know where I could find another?

                            Jason C has it right. If you hold the bumper up the to car you will see how they line up perfectly.

                            I have a set of Euro bumpers if anyone is looking for a set, drop me a pm.

                            Worthybrother... Call me if you need help with the install Scabzz also has a write up with pictures.
