Can anyone explain how to transfer the central air intake & fog lights unit
from the old bumper to the new one ?
I might need new glasses, but I just cannot se how it is fixed to the bumper
!
Thanks.
 
Sorry for the triple post - no idea how that happenend.

I expect you must be right about the fixing, and I guess this is something I
cannot deal with myself.
 
Can't you just un melt the plastic to remove it and then remelt it onto the
new bumper? Done it before a few times and it was fine.

take off the plastic pins and use a hot glue gun for the other
 
Thanks for the advice from you both.
I'll mull over the problem and decide what to do, with your suggestions in
mind.
Thank you for taking the trouble to help - it is appreciated.

I wouldnt advise a hot glue gun. Because of the size of what you are trying
to glue you will find the first applied glue will have cooled down and set
before youhave applied enough toglue the whole component. Unless you have
access to an industrial glue gun.

From GM they are hot glued!!!
 
The job is completed.
I admit I bought a new insert, hot glued it to the new bumper ( it is only
the pins which are individually hot glued, Mike), transferred the fog lights
& number plate brackets and attached it to the car.What a flimsy bit of kit
modern bumpers are !
Job done.
Thanks to those who gave advice
