These 2 points have plastic inserts that go in to the holes in the skid plate and fender. The center tabs on the bumper go beneath the skid plate after it is installed and 10mm heads screws (not bolts) go there. If i remember right the fender use 8mm headed screws to hold the bumper tight against the fender, so there is No gap between the fender and bumper.Could you also tell me what holds #7 together if you could see them on your XE? These holes are smaller than all the holes in #6 and I am curious if there are any gaps between the bumper and the fender so they don't rub together?
