So, im taking my lip to get installed at a very good body shop on monday, so today i decided to put the lip against my bumper to see how it would look like, i got my lip from ******..... So i put it on and i notice that ONLY two bolts seem to line up against the lip, the Two outer bolts ( second picture) on both sides of the car.. the other bolts near the middle of the bumper are too far in and wont reach the lip, so whats the deal? is it supposed to be like that? and will the body shop be able to put it on the car? This is just driving me nuts

" You need to drill through the lip and through the underside of the bumper. There are indentations on the lip already. "

I have never installed or seen a hamann lip lol. You should probably PM ****** to be exactly sure.

That was just somethign I found while googling it.

yes... the only place it lineup is the 2nd pix... mine is like that too...

i did it the complex way... cuz i did this while changing my headlight. i remove the bumper and lineup with the lip and bolt on with screws and 3Mtape...
body shop should do it just fine...

When my Hamann lip was installed the holes had to be drilled for proper attachment to the OEM bumper. Nothing out of the ordinary with this particular lip.
Mine was originally purchased thru Euro-dyne however, since they are no longer a sponsor of this forum I'm unsure as to who (********?) is selling their left over stock.

On a side note, be sure to make sure the lip is SECURELY fastened to the bumper as these will have a tendency to loosen up over time ........... especially after they've scraped a couple of times.

Alright thanks, i kept on thinking the lip had to attach to all the bolts under the bumper which was impossible, ill tell the shop to see maybe the can drill new holes in the bumper, or just use some strong glue...


Thanks

With this particular lip; bolts & glue would be your best bet to a proper securement.

I drille dmy own holes and used doubled sided tape. I did only used one of the holes they supplied to use for the drilled hole.

I wish you the best. Mine is fell off twice already on the same side. For some reason its not holding properly. When you drill through the lip it seems to crack a bit.

It's a Hamann rep, what do you expect?
