Despite being a used take off bumper, it had a few kinks that needed taking out. We found the ye olde craftsman approach with a sledge hammer and a few blocks of wood encouraged it well, it now follows the profile nicely.
I elected to swap the hood as the old one had awful cracking from the extra weight of the wire cutter which strains it. The old hood also was very weak at the hinge points where the rivets pass through.
Finally the front end looks good and not like a person with a broken jaw and all slewed to one side.
I had some new CFR numbers made up at my local 3M Trimline shop and love their work. It is close enough for me on the colour.
On the controls, we replaced the kill switch lanyard and all those parts which were missing and bypassed to allow it to run.
