well this bumper has presented a great challange to me and its been loads
of fun so far trouble shooting to get it to fit.
the evo 7 bumper was 8" wider than the sierra bumper.

so started off cutting the bumper in half and yellow tape to cut off bits i didnt need.

then spent a while cutting and shaving parts off both bumpers to get
it to fit together, got a strict measurement i have to stick for this bumper to work.
half the evo bumper fitted. screwed together.

one of the trickiest parts was to cut the hole for were the vent is on the
side of the bumper as this is were the mounting point for the bumper
onto the wing is located.

now i know what to do the other side shouldnt be to much of a problem
to sort out which i will do tomorrow.

Very resourceful as always Alan, well done. (You could make a fortune for these with the Sierra massive)
