993 front bumper beading

Post by Kalvin »

I am a classic car restorer and I'm refurbing the front of an L reg 993 and notice that the beading between the upper rear edge of the front bumper and the leading edge of the wings is attached to the bumper by staples.

I hate to sound like a numpty but it's been a while since I've taken a bumper off of a 993, so is this correct? It doesn't look as though the bumper had been off before but I don't recall ever seeing staples.
