As per title i have bought some bonnet pins to pin the side of the sagging sides of my GTE bumper im sure i have seen others do this before....

Anyone got any pics and info on how they did it?

Thanks

I never seen pins on the sides only on the front
if you remove the bumper there is a little black square that the self tapping bolt screws into you may be able to drill the hole an bond in a rivnut a use a normal bolt this way it wont be seen an will look standard

if you want to use pins drill the hole in the black square all the way through an then drill the bumper you could still use a rivnut in the hole an screw the pin through from the back you will have to find a way to secure the pin to the inside of the front panel maybe weld it ?

Ive seen pins on competition cars; gives quick bumper off access for servicing repairs. Dzus fasterners are a more descrete way of having a quick release fixing; slightly more secure too.

EDIT
you don't need to weld anything
drill the black square put the pin through the hole with a nut on each end so the the square is sandwiched between the bolts
