SLEEMAN Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 its easy if you have a spot welder, spot weld drill bits etc. its pretty tough to do to be honest, I would say the easiest option is to ask a bodyshop to see if they can fit you one on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalelc16 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Cutting the old one off is the hard bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawdreamer Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I found it a lot easier and cleaner to grind the spot welds down rather than drilling them, half the time the drill bit wont take out the whole weld point and you end up prising it away with a screwdriver (plus you end up using the grinder for preping afterwards anyway) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinw17 Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 thank you guys so is it all just spot welded on then so do i need to cut anything thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalelc16 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 You will need to grind the welds but that's it.The whole front will come off in one lump. Try not to bend anything like the wings positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
