Yeah, the bumper has little indents where the holes are supposed to be drilled, then you put the bumper on and when happy put the arch over and the bolt goes through the bumper and fastens with a nut as on original.

Yep got to agree with you there.
Finish quality was shite, my first attempt at GRP was about 10 times better then the one i got sent.
My exhaust rattles like a fcuker even with tighter rubbers and being cable tied to buggery.

I had to trim the bumper back for the exhaust so not too much of an issue - but its terribly moulded - I laminate as a job on and off throughout the year - and theyve used Chop strand - which isnt the problem - but theyve used about 2 layers so its too brittle and not got ne strengthening - it needs strips of biaxial or extra thickness of CSM to made up the difference - and whoever made their mould tool needs shooting

Try the ultimate velocity predator rear, very similar but with slats in the sides...

The UV Predator front which Ive got is much better moulded - but was 6 inches too wide - thought it was for a foOKing SUV when I got it - massively out - I was lucky that my bodyshop is really good and used to working with "not so high quality" manufacturers
As for the UV rear - it is nicer - vents finish it off - but its wider as well - and the line above where my numberplate is - is still wonky
