Massive visual improvement I don't have a picture with the bumper back on yet as but below are a couple of pictures to give you an idea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bad inferno Member 130 Member For: 19y 5m 27d Posted 26/02/13 08:20 AM Share Posted 26/02/13 08:20 AM Just did this also last weekend. ~1.5 hrs including a trip to autobarn for some replacement scrivets. Could not believe how easy the front bar comes off and obviously the f6 just bolts in, that part is probably 5 minutes.I would recommend before starting get replacement scrivet things, the 3 that clip the liner into the wheel arch on each side. They a sh*t to try and remove and keep like new. There are 3 each side, the larger Christmassy tree ones holding the lower mad flap come in/out just fine as do the ones holding the grill in place above the radiator.

Good trick for the Christmas tree ones is is use some side cutters to pull them out. Get them under the head and just grip and pull. The screw head ones, undo the screw in the middle, then same thing, side cutters under the clip to lever them out if you don't have the proper clip remover tool.What are people paying for a tidy, used FG F6 cooler?

Ended up getting mine for under $300, but I did keep an eye on forums classified, ebay and gumtree for a few months until a decent one popped up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
