ooops - Diablo Front spoiler damage

mike · #1 (**permalink**) 12-11-2005, 11:00 AM

Need to take off my front bumper [91 diablo], as a result of some bad driving, cold tyres and wet wet road. [photo is self explanatory]

It would save me lots of time if anyone who has done this could indicate where the attachment points are, and where to access.

There are 4 bolts in the front boot area by the lock catch either side.. you need to peel the carpet back for this to see them... Under the bumper front edge there are little screws and some rivets... The other 2 mounting points are easy to get from the wheel well... the bumper pulls forward....

Ouch..
I don't think that can be repaired but has to be replaced. Have u looked into a replacement yet?

Terry, it was down here, 14 degrees, damp road, nice bit of stunt driving. [Have now forgiven the wife for backing her Merc into the gatepost last month]

Hope you are well

Mike

You may try Jason at Lambostuff.com
He deals with a lot of real lambos and kit car builders. Might be able to get you an aftermarket version or one from a parted out car. Worth a shot because I cringe at what the cost might be from the dealer. Any idea what the dealer wants for one?

Also - There's a great guy down here who owns a Diablo and also happens to own the only authorized Dealer Lambo body shop in the area. I'll be seeing him Tue morning and I'll show him your pix... maybe they can do something with it... his crew does amazing work and was factory trained in Italy.

I was thinking that if he picked uped all the pieces it might be able to be repaired in a way that would not be noticed.....craftsman still exist, although not many!!

Yeah, a little crazy glue and it will be good as new

Found this on ebay... looks like he's parting out a 94 and says he has more body parts...
