**HELP** nstalling VCSL bumper

Went to the body shop to get my VCSL bumper installed. After removing the OEM bumper, the shop said that they CANNOT mount the VCSL bumper because it DOES NOT have any mouting brackets.

I've heard that the original mounting brackets from the OEM bumper needs ot be swapped and reused, but the shop showed me the original brackets and it looks like they are welded to the OEM bumper.

Those with VCSL bumpers, did your bumper come with mounting brackets? If not, how did you go about installing your VCSL bumper?

Any help is much appreciated. THANKS.

I've installed bunch of Vorsteiner CSL Bumpers, DVWP, CF, U name it......

While the parts are not required in order for you to "mount" the bumper, it is recommended in order to make it fit like a glove.....

If you don't want to buy all the extra's, just swap the OEM ones out into the VCSL Bumper.... just make sure you line everything up before you start gluing and bolting....


Good Luck,
