Thread: D3 Front Runner Sump Guard

I havent fitted one bit what if you used a single 6mm spacey each side at the front?

My assumption for the spec of rubber spacing would be the absorption of some shock load of you impacted something.

in theory yes reducing the spacers would reduce that gap but it currently rubs on the top edge (picture attached) meaning i should increase the spacers.

To add to that, the front bolts supplied with nyloc nuts are not long enough to catch the nyloc... suggesting yes the spacers are too big...

here's the fitment pdf

looks like all the images in the pdf are from a D4 too

Ahh ok. I was under the impression that front lip tucked in under the bumper, but after checking mine this morning i can see how that won't work easily.

And yeah the fitment instructions show a guard without the side wings, which looks like the D4 guard. That is annoying.

I can't find another picture of one fitted, but if it was mine I'd probably just bend the top lip out and then fit the rubber spacers. But you shouldn't have to do that (unless it's previously been damaged).

Hope you get it sorted to your liking.
