SRT6 Front Bumper Question
SRT6 Front Bumper Question
Hi All,
I just received my much awaited SRT6 front bumper from the dealership, freshly painted and awaiting installation on my 2005 N/A Crossfire Roadster.
Can anyone tell me the difficulty level of putting the new bumper on my XF? I did a search on here to see if there was some sort of 'how to' or quick explanation, but I didn't see one.
Any input would be appreciated! LOVE the look of that lip on the SRT bumper and can't wait to get it on my car!
(And to be clear, I don't want the dealership installing it. My fiance works on cars all the time, but he wasn't sure if there are any tricks to installing it, or if it is pretty simple).
Thank you!

Re: SRT6 Front Bumper Question
No too difficult if you are handy with tools.......headlights need to come out and the bottom splash pan needs to come out first then there are several bolts behind where the headlight was and 2 on the front behind the grill inserts also the 1's for the inner fender liners. About 2 1/2 hrs if you have never done this before. jusy be careful not to scratch the newly painted bumper. Alignit up correctly and you'd never know it didn't come from the factory with it.

I have actually seen advice in other threads related to headlights to remove the bumper cover for easy access to the headlights.
Shucks, coulda even been me that advised that .......

Re: SRT6 Front Bumper Question
onehundred80's post #3 in this thread pretty well covers it, although the manual seems to leave out removing the 2 front wheels where is says "Raise and support the vehicle".
PUT IT ON JACK STANDS !!!
This can be accomplished by using the rear jack points and jacking the car high enough to get the stands under the front jack points.
