The fixing on the front is the best part of it!
They do not depend on the radiator screws, but they are fixed at the
center frame iron with a part like: ./-\. , where the wide part embraces
the frame and the irons are screwed to the narrow part.
Only one thing you should bear in mind and tell whoever will fix your
bars: The frame at the front has a plastic cover that has to be cut in
order for the " ./-\. " thing to go there. But you don't have to cut it
all out, only the parts on the left and right of where that thing goes,
and you can keep the center and install the " ./-\. " thing over it...
I know it doesn't make much sense, but when you see the system you will
understand what i am talking about. It is something not difficult, but
no mechanic will valunteere to do it, so tell them!


The thing I am talking about is more like this:

	 	 "/--\"
		 /____\

It is in two parts:
               Left bar"/-
                       /__

and                       -\"-Right bar
                          __\
and anyway, I am not very good at this. I 'll try to find a picture, but
my scanner is out of order, so...
