Styling Splash gaurd

Yes my thoughts exactly
Was thinking the same, i like the bumper with the spot light holes near the headlights.
also i'm going to cover the splash guard and the top panel in stainless steel rap. as my brother deals in car rapping and bumper strips ect and the stainless rap looks so dam real you would think it was the real thing.

Was it him who did the vertical fins on your upper grille in SS?

I noticed in Halfrauds the other day they do stock mesh for the back of the grilles and wondered if that would look ok on the two apertures on the Fiorino..

I think that looks a lot better, it breaks up the black of the bumper.

Doing the usual trawl for bits I found this diagram relating to a <front bumper deflector> (highlighted as "2" on the pic, lower left) but thought it might be interesting to note that perhaps the bumper has the foglight cutouts marked on the rear of the bumper so you can fit nacelles (shown as '5' with '6' as the mounting bracket) to that cut out and put your DRLs in there?

Round DRLs are available on eBay but I don't know the diameter of the OEM foggers for our vans. It might save the expense of a replacement front bumper although they don't seem that expensive off the tat yard sites on the bay.

Luigi - what method of fixing was it for the 'splash guard'? Stone guard might seem a better description..

On the rear of the stone guard there are 8 studs sticking out with a 6mm hole in them these are longer the the guard so the bumper has to be drilled to accept the studs.
with the guard in place you have to remove the wheel arch liner to get to the studs on the guard which take a 20mm long self tapping screw with 12mm head and a 6mm internal hole washer as the stud was slightly to long than the thickness of the bumper.
Underneath the guard there are three holes drill up through these with a 6mm drill bit and fix it to the bumper with plastic rivits [the ones with the pin in the centre that open out three legs when the pin is pushed in]
The job took about an hour.

So I just bought a stone/splash guard on ebay. It's for the qubo shape bumper, and came with the bumper attached. Should look pretty sweet.
