Hello Jaguar Drivers
I have a X308 and notice the front and rear bumpers are loose, there is about 10mm of play. On looking under it appears the bumpers are attached in a few positions via rivets. I aim to repair this myself using rivets but would like advice from anyone that has performed this themselves. Any good tips?
Thankyou
Jeremy

If the bumpers are the same as an X300, they are secured, at the rear by 2 x 12m/m bolts, which go through an ally spacer held in a composit mounting block, the 'rivits' you see are the heads of the coach bolts that hold the mounting to the body, the nuts to these bolts are located in the boot. the steel bolt running through the ally spacer corrodes the spacer to the point that it no loger holds the bolt and the weight of the bumper causes it to drop, on mine one side went and when i had a look the other side was 90% through so I replaced both, not cheap £36.00 each from Jagspares Int. Hope this helps Brian
