Straightening out a rear B/C bumper to fit
Hi all, can anyone tell me the best way to get a rear B/C bumper to fit the car. Mine appears to be too wide for the car. Its not the original bumper for my car but it is a B/C bumper. If I try and use the bolts to pull the ends in then I think I will do more harm than good to the cars body panels.

Hi Ren
do you have the very thick spacers that mount between the bumper ends and the rear quarters and there is a small amount of tweeking adjustment between the rear quarters and the stay bars that have slotted holes, so you can loosen the bolts and pull the rear quarter out a wee bit.

Do you have any pictures of what you mean?
My bumper is not close to the wing (near the wheel arch)
Or leave them off and just get some nerf bars..... its easier.
The outlaw look is all the rage!!

B/C bumper fit
can you see how the bumper follows the curve of the body at the back but as it gets to the wing it then kicks out (more than two rubber pieces).
