Cut out bumper brackets clio 182

[Louis]

Has anyone fully cut out their bumper brackets and retained a decent fitting bumper?

My bumper has quick release clips on but I want the corners to sit correctly if I remove the brackets.

I didn't realise you'd done that. Got any pics or is it in your thread?

Edited above for you.

Does your bumper still hook over what's left?

It slides into the wing and then I use the arch liners to connect it as there's no 10mm bolt from bumper to wing anymore. Never popped out that I know of and looks as it should.

Louis,

I clamped the bumper to the wing and drilled a 10mm hole through both at a suitable position. Then pushed a Subaru bumper clip through them to pin the two together. It holds the bumper perfectly aligned and can be removed without issue.

You just remove your bracket completely too then?

I'm sure the side bumper clips will hold it in well enough anyway but wanted to check.
