Was wondering if anybody has fitted this kit is it a just unbolt fiberglass one and metal slots over body work and bolt on ?

As you said, it just bolts on.

Excellent metal one it is then ,as a fibreglass one just been quoted £250 + P&P

Never really like fibreglass ones. I'll agree they give it sort of 80s-pseudo streamlined look but the rot can hide behind them and they go grey without constant attention or spraying. The metal ones are great for nudging modern plastic cars out of parking spaces I want to get into.

You may need to elongate fixing holes on the bumper as they don't always line up. Good second hand bumpers tend to be better quality.

Just had this reply from Just Kamper about there metal bumper;
From: alexMessage ID: 95241Date: 28/05/2013Hello.You can fit the metal type bumpers but you will have to source some second hand bumper irons to fit them.

On the front you have to cut the two metal tabs that you taped the cracked fiberglass. On the rear, you have to change or cut the holder irons

Thank you for advice

Only doing the front for the MOT, so all looking good
