Ings+1 Front bumper Help needed

[S14Paco]

Just got got my Ings kit for my 96 240, and I'm having a problem mounting the front bumper. Its about a half inch lower than it should be, is there a bracket that mounts under the bumper?

Maybe you could be a little more descriptive of why you can't mount it higher......

Is it hitting the bumper reinforcement? On the kouki the ings hits the bumper reinforcement so it needs to be trimmed. Zenki might be the same.

Where the bumper mounts at the front, under the grill. It looks like there should be something like a mounting piece, spacer or bracket, in between the ings bumper and the bumper rienforcement, this would raise the bumper about an inch and the side would be lined up (no gap) and would bolt up.

well the sides just bolt right up. the front is only held in by the grille if im not mistaken?? hmm.. i know what u mean saying there should be a bracket. my bumper sat almost an inch too low but my bumper supports are fine... i cant figure it out. more pics?

uhh are you missing the bumper bracket that bolts to the crash bar?

Looks like I am.

Sorry not trying to be a nag, but which piece are you referring to?

I have every piece shown here. Is this something that should have come from Ing's with my Bodykit?

Chmercer is talking about #10. This really shouldn't be that complicated though.

First off, are you trying to install the ings bumper on a a car that already had a stock bumper on it? In my first post I sorta assumed that was the case. The ings (or any other aftermarket bumper that I know of) doesn't need any special bracket to attatch it, they all use the stock stuff.

If you are rebuilding the car from a bare shell or something, then just go through the FSM very carefully and make sure you have all the parts........

yes #10. That is what the bumper rests on.
If you don't have that, you could always make some kind of L brackets and go from there. Really shouldn't be that hard.
Oh you have to bolt it onto the fender too. lol. that was for my own amusement.

And you forgot to tell him to make sure to change his oil every 3000 miles. That's the most important part.
