T6 Sportline lower bumper/splitter fixings [Resolved]

[Thegosson]

Can anybody tell me what these are and where they are supposed to be used when fitting the lower sportline splitter/ bumper piece?
They look like riv-nuts or nut-serts to me but open to correction. Where are we supposed to put them? I bought the lower bumper off transporter HQ.eu and it came with no instructions what so ever. I have it installed etc but still have these items left over and curious as to where they should go.
the brass looking bits in this image are the items in question.

I found the info i needed off this image. Have it sorted now, and my front parking sensors have stopped screaming at me finally.

The front parking sensors are back at it again. Driving me nuts at this stage.
It's been asked multiple times on this forum with plenty of people pitching in but nobody actually answering the question regarding if the front parking sensors can be switched off via VCDS or the likes?

They’re a rivnut or nutsert. There’s a specific tool for installing them. There basically a fancy rivet that when installed leave you with a threaded mounting point in the center of them. I can’t remember was it used to sandwich the now layers of bumpers together good and tight or was it to give you somewhere to bolt the number plate onto.

Ok thanks ..I've watched the Transporter HQ video on YouTube but no mention of these.

I know they mustn’t have known what they were for either.

Hi Toby. I’ve just bought the same one & I am probably as confused as you were. Any advice on fitment please?

Hi, i didn't use them and all is fine .I believe they were for the number plate after all and I stuck mine on instead
