Sport
bumper install
The sport bumper is,in my opinion a very smart
addition to the standard Santa Fe bumper, both I and
Andy decided to have this mod done to our Santys.
Hope you enjoy the info....
Partguy who supplied this item suggested to use zipties
at the 2 lower outer edge brackets because as we found it
was difficult to locate the 2 outer bolts.
As the pic says, we think it gives the front end of the
Santy a far more aggressive look.
Time to fit the first one was about an hour, second one
just around 20 minutes, also worth noting is that this
part can be moved to your next Santa Fe without causing
any damage.
Our thanks go to Partguy who went to great lengths to ship
them out to the UK in record time, and he gave us a great
deal.

Re:

Boy does the Sports Grill look great on my wife's
White GLS, 4WD, 2004
Great show and tell guys!!
I also picked up a Sports Grill from Partsguy!
It was really dificult to get those top two bolts in; [i]rivets[/i]
what a great idea!
Thanks for the tip about the nylon cable ties! I was
wondering how I was going to get the two end bolts on
the bottom secured.
Also, have a graphic on the sides of the Santy,
Red, White and Blue, Stars and Stripes, I'll try to get
a picture posted tomorrow.

Re:

I can't believe I'm gonna get chauffered around in
those two neat Santys when I go "over there" to visit
next summer!!! They will, however, have to drive in
reverse so they will be on the "right" side of the
road. Gonna get to ride in HD's 2.7 petrol Santy then
Andy's torque smashin' TD...YEEEEEHAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Re:

Great pictures and write up guys. I must admit that
the Silver Santy truly is the nicest color of them all.
Yours doesn't look to shabby either Andy.
By the way Andy, how do you keep your engine bay so
clean? Do you never drive it?

Re:

If it ever stops raining I'll take a few pics.
The stars and stripes really go well with the sports
grill.
I was having a problem getting the two ends bolts on
the bottom of the grill to go in, and was ready to try
the nylon cable ties as suggested, and then I saw the
pics on installing and figured if two English guys
could get it right so could I!
Went back and gave it another try and now the grill is
bolted up solid!
Must be something about being American, hate to get
beat by the English!

Just remember you two Brits (1 English/1 Welsh)...if
the skunk scent additive is not approved by Hyundai,
don't come sniveling around here on the Forum!!
