Headlight Washer Holes In Bumper

Petetourer · 14th February 2013, 23:23

Hi All...

I have sourced myself a new bumper... Now this bumper did not have headlight washers...

Am I right in thinking that the holes that would need to be cut are already marked up

As per the parking sensors on the rear bumpers

Should be marked underneath....similar to parking sensors, you may need to clean the plastic as the marks feint

Hello,
They are very faint but they are there. I cut them out at a Nano meet with a dremmel.

Bit of an awkward shape, but a dremmel should manage it.

Thanks for the replies guys....

I have such a tool for the job, so I better go and collect the bumper now then!!

I used 2 drills & cut the bits in between with a Stanley knife.

I understood that the mk2 bumpers did not have these markings?

The OP has a MK1 so no problem

I didn't think that you were right about this. But you are

. There are no such marks on my facelift bumper that is gathering dust awaiting fitting.

Anyone have any location measurements for drilling? I 'd be gutted if I got this wrong

Cheers,

Dave
