Unhappy Aero front bumper help!!

Hi

Have just took my aero front bumper to be fitted and ran into a slight problem!
Once they had took the original front bumper off and tried to put the aero on it wouldnt fit properly due to the metal brace infront of the radiator! (being to large)
Do i need to buy a new brace?? ( i have heard an aero bumper shou;d ft straight on?)
So cant see why it doesnt fit properly!!
Can anyone help please!!!!!!

They're incompetent - take the car somewhere else.

I know the guys at the body shop and they have a very good rep!
They tried fitting it a few different ways but had no joy
Not having this brace would effect my insurance apparently so really need this sorting a.s.a.p!

Help much appreciated.

Nope i agree with Mike Edwards There incompetent! this is a factory bodykit it goes straight on unless your car has been in a front end crash and the metal brace is different to the oringinal!!!

I fitted my own Aero kit fairly simple and it went straight on the only thing i had a problem with was the fog lights needed moving! which is not a problem really!!
