View Full Version : bumper spring catches
i was just wondering, like on the drift cars the the spring catch either side of the bumper what else holds them on and could u have them on road cars or would the bumps on the roads etc end up poping the bumper off?
afaik You mount the bumper normally and put them on aswell. No reason why you cant put them on a road car really
whats the purpose of the so if you mount it same way, i thought there like a quick way of getting the bumper off

you just rest the bumper on the bumper bar and the springs just hold it on on either side
ye thats what i was tinkn could i have these on a road car i constanly have to take my bumper on and off these be well handy
I only saw these for the first time in Japanese Performance the other day. I imagined there might have been a clip in the middle too but when you think about it all you need is one at either side, I don't think it could be a very heavy bumper though :confused:

Yeh man its what im doin on the track car, just one either side.
It wouldnt pass an nct with them tho as it pedestrien (spelling :dunce:) hazard
gotta pic of them?
sounds the same as the 2 cable ties on either side method only less disposable.
i have 2 holes drilled in the bumper and two in the wing on either side just where the bumper and wing meet at the wheel arch. push the bumper into place, and 4 cable ties. thats all that holding mine on at the min.
could run the risk of little fuckers robbing your front bumper though if its too easy to get off.

thats the ones u see em on rally cars etc
that'd definitely hold a bumper on a road car no hassle. but, as i said, easy to remove means its easy for everybody to remove.
hahah if u see my bumper no 1 will rob it lol pure uglyness!gona buy a set of these

Got these in local hardware for €5, I think they are great for quick removal and fitting + if u catch a cone or something they usually let the bumper move and pop off saving it most times :)
I have them on my road car there right handy just the two spring clips and then 2 cable ties to hold the corner to the arch bumper comes off in 20 seconds handy you d wanna re-enforce were in boles in dow I have a steel plate fiberglassed into the back of the wings an bumper just stops all the gelcoat and paint cracking
