Finally (after 1yr) got around to bringing my car to the shop to get the cwest front bar installed.

Getting the guy to customise the cwest bar so i can retain the washers.

:D

I like a cool refreshing spray every now and then.... :D
i honestly find them fairly handy when needing a clearer vision at times.

Its always the passengers fault ay!

Mines disconnected at the bumper, and at the switch, since I have the AP2 console, and I'm running my EK9 foglight switch in its place. Definately can't get wet now :D

you try it out yourself, place some dust / dirt and see how clear the vision is compared to being clean. If you understand how the lights bend etc then understand you'll need to have a clean headlights for better vision

Further more its part of the australian regulation to have a headlight cleaning system for all xenon lights.

Anyway should get my car back on Friday :D

ummm that ain't right?

FOr safety etc reasons all cars have a front bumper beam. It will not affect how an aftermarket bumper is fitted.

Someones talking BS to you to get more time to complete the task.....

18 bolts and a pull removes your front bumper. That's it.

hummmm will def head into the shop to have a look....
agree with you that front bumper beam needing to be there...
it might be the front bumper absorber, or some sort.

The shop's probably referring to the crappy foamy shit that sits inside your OEM bumper between the bumper and the beam IIRC.

In which case, it doesn't matter if its there or not.

got to the shop bit late today so didnt get a chance to see it, but from what they were saying they need to remove the entire piece and cut side panels etc which BS to me. Will need to leave work early tomorrow so i can get to shop by 4:30...

You guys should organise a GB on s2ki for a Robins glass window. I've read a few times people want one. And I know a few ppl on my msn do too.
