Thanks! I have another wing on the way to try on.... stay tuned!

Yea, I took ad "Vantage" of the hot market this summer in the US. It was the best time to buy the newer Vantage... Now the prices are too high for the Vantage... I think the driver of the Blue V8V is on the forum....

Looks like your retrofit has gotten AM's attention.

Haha! I have to give AM that credit... Their conversion motivated me to buy the new AM b/c I could upgrade the bumper... I just knew I was 1st in ordering the kit from Millers here in the US.... They were the only AM website that offered the kit... in the US...

I dont have the volumes needed to rebuild the air intake & cooling lines... I only downloaded the WSM sections to swap bumpers. Given that level of rebuild, you guys HAVE to get a tech hub subscription to get it right... Plus, you will need to look at the parts catalog which comes witth the subscription. I recommend the vane grille with the F1 spoilers... The hunter is old now...

Can you send down load of bumper remove-refit? Willing to contribute say 25.00 for your trouble. In time you could recoup your cost.

Are owners having trouble downloading the AM WSM? Its so much easier to just buy a 1 day or 1 month subscription and download everything into a .pdf. I bought a 1 day independent subscription for $100 US and it took me about an hour. I know AM doesn't give you an option to download it but there is a work around...

1. If you are using IOS, in Safari, you have an "option " if you want to download that page... click option and save the page as a .pdf... it will grab the entire WSM section and convert it to a .pdf.

I watched that guy Mat tear down that console and all he had to do was pop off the side clip and remove that bolt... I can tell you that you will need to adjust the headlamps before you bolt the bumper back in...
