Tequipment Skidplate installation

Just bought a used Tequipment stainless steel front skidplate from EuroRev (top trans-Atlantic service by the way ) but unfortunately no installation instructions

How do you install this thing?

Looks like it may fit over the standard bumper undertray which you then have to drill into to locate the fixing pins/fastners

I obviously dont want to start drilling until Im sure and even if I do drill through, Im a little unsure how Im going to locate the fastners at the back without removing the entire bumper assembly!

Can anyone offer any advice other than give it to the dealer to sort (which is my Plan B !)

Here you go....

Well it wasn't real easy but having 4 hands is helpful...
First remove the bumper and headlights... several screws are removed from inner wheel wells in order to get to the screw that hold the bumper in place, Once those are removed there is a plastic release then holds the bumper slides in & out of on the sides... As one holds the bumper, the other guy detached tubing if you have pop up headlight washers, also remove one wire harness if you have PDC...


Once off.. then drill holes on the inside where they are clearly marked for you... Different size holes are need for propper fitment.

Then attach plate and attach round washers once plate is in...
Use a socket and a hammer to lock down those large washers...


Also where the tow hooks are, that area around where the exsiting cover was needs to be cut so that the plate sits flush on the bumper.. as seen here...

Then put her all back together..
Also I changed out the H11 Fog lights to match the Bi-Xenons color now..
And it will look like this..

Only good pic I have from a distance since I installed before my race last weekend..

Great instructions Kevin, I'd probably scratch everything up doing that. I was freaking out yesterday because I had to drill 4 holes in the front bumper to mount the license plate holder.

When I realized the dealer did not install the front plate bracket I called them up to give them hell, he told me that I didn't need to put a front plate on a Porsche, he said the cops won't care. He said they never put front plates on any Porsche and it wouldn't be a problem. I asked him to put that in writing, but he wouldn't. Maybe he was right!!
