managed to snap off one of the screw points while fitting.. im raging so hard right now lol

hopefully an adhesive helps..

Oh man that sucks. I was so paranoid about doing the same thing. Try some hardcore superglue or just don't worry about the one.

My stock ones had two snapped off from a minor prang with a roo years ago and I didn't even know about it.

wow Phil i cant believe how dissapointed i am right now with the fitment of these, i go to put the right hand side 1 on first and 3 out of the 6 tabs are about 5mm out of where there supposed to be and are no where near fitable, all the tabs on the right surround are overly to fat compared to the left side surround where the tabs all look beatiful and alot neater. i know with being aftermarket and carbon there not going to be 100% but to completely not line up is not cool.

Been waiting so long for these and for them to not fit is so dissapointing, i dont want a refund would just like a set that fits!

If you have a drama send us an email with a pic and an explanation with what the drama is and we can sort it out.

Hmmm that's strange man. Mine were nearly all spot on. A couple needed a slight "push" with the screwdriver to move them a millimetre or so, but nothing that would make it not fit :(

i glued the mount back on but ended up just ignoring it since it didnt really influence the fitment

regarding fit, i found it was out a bit too. 2 points on each cover require the mounting point to slot inside, and the points on this cover are just too fat to fit inside the little circle on the foglight assemply

i ended up just trimming about 5mm off the 2 points on each cover. just used a hacksaw blade took about 10mins

I wonder why mine didn't have any problems? Like I said, a couple of the screw holes were slightly aligned wrong but only by maybe a mm. And some of the holes were drilled slightly to big so I just needed slightly thicker screws but that was it.

Delljit, looks good man. You happy with it?

well i had to use wider screws, and the 2 mounting points that are closest to the centre of the car were too long to fit into the assembly's standard points so i had to hack saw a few mm off to compensate

it looks good but was a bit more screwing around than i initially anticipated

happy with the end product in terms of appearance, not as happy in terms of needing adjustments

    • Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?
    • And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!
    • And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.
    • Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).
    • You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
