    Just when it all seemed to be sorted.......................finally after 3 weeks the correct powerwash jet finally landed on Wednesday so I got it fitted & stuck the bumper on only to notice through the bottom grille that the air filter had popped apart grrrrr so off it came again & got the airbox back together & refitted the bumper (was a better fit 2nd time round) anyhoo I pulled the car out into the yard yesterday to let a customer's vehicle out & then I went out delivering gas bottles but on returning to the yard I was gobsmacked..........the new bumper stands out like a sore thumb (someone mixed the wrong shade) so consequently it's all got to come apart again, oh well I suppose there's no hurry but I just want it finished now

    The cables are too long, you need to make a pair of spaceres to fit onto the cables before the backplate, this effectivly makes the cables shorter, i have 10mm of thread showing on my handbrake and it starts to be effective on notch 2, or buy new shorter cables.

    Will that make the bumper match?
