Aligning the slam panel
Posted: Mon Apr 03, 2017 5:15 pm
Afternoon everyone,
I'm after some techniques and ideas on the best way to make sure I align the two front panels of the cavalier properly, namely the slam panel and the strip panel that runs underneath the grille and headlamps.
The car previously had the slam panel changed due to corrosion but the person who fitted it done so in such a way that the headlamps would touch the bonnet corners when the bonnet was shut.
Due to a front end bump the slam panel is being changed again to a genuine item, as is the below strip, but I want to make sure it's straight as a die so the whole front end looks spot on and not like it's face is pissed off!
Many Thanks
