exterior bracket to hold fender in place?

I have a replica Ridox front bumper and the fitment is pretty good.

 

The only real issue I have is bolting it at the top edges to the fender, from inside it has been a PITA for the bolts to properly hold.

 

I have seen especially on race cars, drift cars, etc.. where there is this clip/bracket that is attached to the fender and bumper. I wouldn't mind the look.

 

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? if so is there anywhere I could buy something like this or would I have to custom make it myself. Also if anyone has any pictures of something like this, I have seen some Supra's with them but can't find the pictures.

I think you are looking for Aerocatches

 

You would attach a pin part to the car that the catch locks into. The same as many use on aftermarket bonnets.

 

I know what he means.

 

You attach a part of it to the fender, and a part to the bumper. Its a sprung catch. A lot of drift cars used to use them so they had "quick release" bumpers.

A coventional bonnet aerocatch wouldn't work due to the way a bumper attaches to a car compared to a bonnet.

 

To OP: I know the type you're talking about, the ones Listy mentioned as being used by the drift scene. I can't readily find anything like that, but here's an alternative for you to try that look quite smart (scroll through all the pics). :)
