Nope there's a box sectioon at either end, it needs to be welded to these as well as along the top.

I did a funky diagram.

Spot/plug weld it every inch where it's red, and tack it accross the top if you're gonna deseam it.

I "persuaded" her no it's to match the bumperless front! Plus It looks cool and saves buying a new bumper

If you're wondering what the hole is for, it's for a peugeot 206 foglight! The standard one stuck out and looked generally nasty so decided for a bit of customising


I dealt with a few dents and a bit of rust on the bootlid, and primed it all.



Me sleep now.
