Ok...so they've put my vanity rear on....but since I had a verada and the rear bumper stuck out like 3 metres...the rear bumper reo didnt fit....so its currently got no rear reo....is this gonna cause any problems?

should I go and look for a rear bumper reo from a magna with a smaller rear bumper than the verada?

Oh...one more question while Im at it...for some reason I thought I had already asked this question but I think I mighta dreamed I did...ahahaha
Anyway...since the side of the bottom of my front bar flares out a bit and protrudes....they cant connect it to the side of the mud guard (not mud flap) underneath my wheel arch....is this gonna be a problem?
Is there a way of putting another piece in there to connect them? Or should I just remove the guard all together as I have seen on some other cars with similar looking bodykits?

Thanks

is a part of the rear bumper support....if you've ever taken a rear bar off....you'll notice its the big metal part with two metal forks sticking out of it which slide into holes in the rear of the car...and behind it is where you'll see the foam backing...

Never heard about "reo" thingy. In workshop manual it is called Bumper Reinforcement.

No real point in having a bumper if you don't have a reinforcing bar :nuts:

reo is short for reinforcement e.g grano workers put sheets of reo or reo bar in concrete

Ive read that alot of a/m bodykits require you to discard the reinforcment...no?:think:

Short answer, yes.

It's illegal not to have it fitted.
