Hey guys

As nice does anyone know what size I need?

The hole according to the instructions says I need to drill an 11mm hole,

Are grommets in set sizes?

Did you know you can get these that fit without any drilling? I've had them on my Freelander for 22 months without any problems.

Sorry, I know that doesn't answer your question ....

Ah well, you can't beat a deal, although, I still don't like the idea of taking a drill to a perfectly good bit of bodywork.....

I also have the clip on light guards, no need for drilling any holes and they actually fit the lights rather than extending round the body like the other ones. There's always some on Ebay if anyones interested.

don't like the "clip-on" ones, they look fake

you only need the gromets for the points that go into the bumper and make sure that you put the light gaurd into the bumper first before marking the wings as some idiot did on mine ,now they are just about holding in the bumper, as the holes on the wings are a bit to far back.

On the grommets I have for my guards the hole in the grommet is 6mm, part that fits in the hole you drill is 10mm and the outside diameter is 14mm.

I need to get my hands on 2 of the spacers, the long one for the rear lights and one for the front lights that spaces it out from the wings.

Got to agree, I don't like drilling into perfectly good bodywork but hadn't seen the clip on ones until yesterday.
