where do my bolts go????

Hi.. i just imported myself an rx7 series 8 2002 model type r and have just picked it up from the docks and have found that the front spoiler has been taken off to avoid damage on and off ship.. all the nuts and bolts are there but unfortunately i dont know where they go and cant seem to find any help from the net.. anyone with any insight into this would be appreciated.. cheers

The bolts on the front lip are essentially the same all around. There should be metal clips in the bottom of the bumper cover that these thread into, and there should be tabs on the spoiler that snap it into place. Snap it in, then bolt it in.

30 BOLTS 7 TYPES ????!!!!!! They must have removed the complete undercarrage .If nothing is removed but the front lip then do as above and snap in the tabs to locate the lip and bolt it on .The bolts should be 6mmx1. pitch with 10mm head .

I fitted a '99 lip, undertray, and ducts to my '94

If they pulled the full undertray.. that makes sense for a bunch of bolts, but by memory 7 in lip one each side by brake duct, two each side sunk down by sway bar mounts, 4 on back edge and two others?

Ist it will not be the end of the world to install the wrong lengths in the wrong place. But to help out group each type and count, the mounting is symmetric left and right, however from memory lip has a centerline bolt. So split groups in half and look at where they go ... may be obvious that say two per side should be the same ..

Take a picture and post it, so we know what was removed.
