dinged up the front of my car and bent the rad support had a spare one handy and just by the looks of it needs to be spot welded into place? anyone confirm this is the only method and ive been told that often problem is they dont match up properly? anyone experienced any issues with welding new rad supports?

some people in the states said they just bolted it down, but they dont reccomend it, but can be done. otherwise yes it is spot welded.

do you want oem one or aftermarket, i can get aftermarkets~ brand new

lol was going well until my mate decided to get into an accident while driving to work
yeah mines preface i had the type r front lip, chucked on a spare set of super low king springs, spoon cf wing, chucked in cup holders was waiting for the new engine

but now since the rad support is damaged, head light, bonnet, front bar, rear bar damaged

decided to go for the ej8 front bar no moulds
facelifted rear bar no moulds
was able to fit the old lip onto the new front bar
cf bonnet
then a respray of cw that wont come for awhile since im already set back a fair bit since d engine
oh yeah a set of p1's will go well
