Side fixings , very easy , measure distance in from your old bumper and 20mm from the top .
You will need spacers , I used 2 suitable lock nuts , again chemical metal .

Did some side fixings on another bumper today , didn't think of it to start with so didn't take any pics from the beginning .

1) Measure 115mm from what I call the ridge ( where pre face headlights meet pre face indicator ) Then measure 22mm from the top ( sizes are to center )
You can measure from the car ( what I did 1st time )
Offer up the bumper and make a pencil mark where your hole is on car .

2) Lay a base for fixings , at least 5mm thick in the area you will be securing fixings you can use chemical metal or body filler ( I like chemical metal )

3) Use dome head screws and a big washer ( see pic )

4) drill a hole so that the dome head sits in it flush .

5) Use a small amount of chemical metal 1st just to hold it in place .

6) Check all measurements are right .

7) Now you can cover the washer with chemical metal too .

8) You should have good strong fixings .
