@Jimmy LoL

@Ben
Just needed a fix for the bumper. Never worked on a car before, this was the first thing I'd ever done.

Thanks again to Darryl, if anyone is thinking of getting these and is in doubt, don't be, they're well worth it.

Someone can have my sticker, it's missing a bit of the corner though.

I didn't get a sticker or installation guide.
There is the one online but that means I have to take the tablet out side.
Not that I care or am complaining, just letting Darryl know about the lack of stickers.

There is an installation guide on the first page of this thread. Just print that out?

Peh you don't need a installation guide. I started off with it, didn't look at it after I got the bumper off. Petty straight forward stuff

I cheated and only pulled the plastic back about half way then folded it behind the wheel. Also the fastest way to get those stupid plastic retainers out that the new bolts replace is to drill the ****ers out.

I know that the previous GB had stickers in them.

When this latest set of brackets arrived the postal envelopes were already sealed, so I wasn't able to check whether they had stickers or not.

I will talk to Noah and find out whats going on with the stickers. I might be able to get some extra ones in the next batch of brackets.

Ok, got some info from Noah about the stickers

Quote:
Those faf stickers are only part of the link kit. I did send some with the previous AUS bumper bracket order but that was a one off. I can most certainly toss a few in the mail.

they'll also be up for sale on the soon to launch aac website.
I'll see what I can work out with Noah for getting a batch of them in a future order. But that will depend on fast the remaining brackets get sold.

Speaking of which, can any of the Sydney guys that have contact with familiagtx outside the forum please let him know that his brackets are in hand and I am just waiting for payment before I send them out. He might still be on holidays as he hasn't posted since before Xmas
