When you go to install the bumper and cover, make sure the inner fender fasteners are in place, if not the bumper may be a bit low.

I have done this installation three times - the Volvo plastic covered rivets work well. If you buy a package, they are cheaper. On line should be cheaper yet.

I put 8 penny nails in place of all the rivets first to make sure they all line up. Install the worst fitting one first.

Does your car still have its louvre? On many cars this piece of grille is missing. I painted the three small grills and the louver silver - this fits well with the silver main grill and headlights.

Go to bricks pix - Thu, Jul 8th 2004 - to see how this looks.
