Really stoopid question time:
I got hold of a 2nd hand pair of these protectors for my 2000 'E' and have just finished fitting them.
Because they extend approx a further inch from the side of the rads they force out the plastic rad scoops to the extent that the bottom mounting holes in the scoops don't line up with the holes in the guards that are presumably there for the purpose
Also the r/h scoop is forced out to such an extent that it's stressing the top mount where it screws into the tank.
I'm thinking that the first frontal impact the scoops have they will just rip right off
Any body else here got them fitted?
Am I being really stoopid and missing a trick here??
Cheers
Andres
