How to Fit the Front Bumper on a Classic Fiat 500

Model: Fiat 500 Epoca - Years 1957-1975
Part: Body

Fitting the bumper on a classic 500 is really simple as there are only two screws with nuts and washers to install, along with the spacer and gasket. This applies if it is an "R" version. If it is an "L" version, tubular spacers also need to be fitted, but this is not difficult, as there are still only two screws and spacers with gaskets that need to be secured to the bumper. Then attach the tubular to the body from underneath and the bumper to the car. Hold it in place with a knee. Under the body, you will find two holes to support the screws for the tubular. Do not tighten the screws fully straight away, as you will need to find the correct alignment.
