they are just standard 10mm ones iirc. the same as used all over the car. I dont think they would change that between gens.

If they are not there that could explain your bumer being off. I reckon you will have a good outcome from this if you replace :D

three i think :lol: ;) one needs an extender.

I only noticed a negative difference low rev's in one of the ludes I have done it to but that one had other issues. otherwise the lost 1-2ftlb between 2 and 4k dont equal the general better response, smoother curve and easier top end. Horse's for courses though. Let me know what you think.. :)

If you mean the 4 bolts that are accessed by removing the indicators, pretty sure they are M8's with a standard thread, I'll double check later when I'm in the garage.

So the only thing holding your bumper on was the two nuts under the headlights in the engine bay?
