Grundy Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Are you doing it on your own? would say get some more people, it's flexible material. I don't have photo's to match your's but I know at 1st it didn't look like it would fit flush, but after some force it went on nicely.

StevoD Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 not that i wish to be a dick but tarmac does state they might need minor modification and a minor modification on a lip can make a big difference in fitment, might be worth pre heating the lip to get it to expand a bit obviously don't drop a blow torch on it haha but might allow it to expand and be a bit more flexible, many people here are running tarmacs lip with out major problems i no mine is tight (still not fitted) but confident it will go "These lips are an exceptional fit, minor trimming maybe required as standard with replica parts. PU Lips are sold ready for priming and painting, any blemishes found during manufacturing are filled and sanded, this is industry standard. For best results these lips should be bonded to OEM bumper." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OV53 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Can't you dip PU in boiling water to soften it up and then bend and hold it in shape until it cools down? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grundy Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 The image you've shown all depends on how it is the other side, that is a little bit of a gap, these things do stretch, their no deity butterfly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not doing yourself any favours by posting up issues that you're having with parts and then ignoring the advice given to you. I'm not expert on cars myself either, but these guys are a helpful bunch so I'd take their suggestions on board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhorno Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 I know what your saying , but I can't give advice to my friend who been doing spraying and stuff for 30 years I told him it needs to be heated up he just started laughing and said do you not think iv tryed ...

PU Lips are sold ready for priming and painting, any blemishes found during manufacturing are filled and sanded, this is industry standard. For best results these lips should be bonded to OEM bumper." Not to get into an argument about it or anything but that is not an exceptional fit that needs minor trimming, it just doesn't fit. It should read that these need bending into shape if that's the way they all get sent out. When I eventually hear from Abbey I really hope mine doesn't fit like that.

OV53 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Try the boiling water trick first..... Basin with boiling water in, dip the corner in and hold for a minute or so, bend it the dustance required and hold until cool. Repeat for opposite side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 i think the answer to your question is if you want the instant fit spend the dollar and buy a Really Nismo lip/N1 bumper pal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinmac Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I had a damaged CF bonnet. I took it to my mate who has a bodyshop. He said it could be repaired. A member on here told me what to do. I did what he said. It took 10 minutes. Perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
