Default Front WD Lip Installation

Hello all,

I'm based in the UK and finding it difficult to find any installation guides for a WD style front lip on my '07 250.

Anyone got any guides or advice?

Thanks

Here's what the lip looks like:

If its PU, leave it in the sun for a few ours for it soften up and regain its shape. If fiberglass, then feel free to test fit right away.

Line up lip with a buddy, and make sure everything is snug. Afterwards apply 3m tape to lip, and then drill some self taping screws to secure it onto bumper. Thats the basic process

Alternatively, take it to a bodyshop for professional fitment

^+1 what this member said.

Also before you get it painted, test fit it to see if the lines match up etc. if not have the body shop make the proper and required adjustments before paint.

Good luck

Cheers for the replies.

Did a pre-install test yesterday.....unsure if I want it on or keep the old LX-Mode insert instead.....

IMHO the LS mode insert doesn't match anything and looks out of place. I would remove it. Fitment of the front lip looks good from the front.
