I am about to fit a rear carrier on my +4, i have no bumpers or overiders just the rear valance without the holes for the overiders. I have bought some brackets that fit into the tubes on the chassis but its quite difficult to mark where to cut the holes for the brackets can anyone give me some measurments and photos from their car to give an idea of where to cut.
Any advice most welcome.

Don't know if this helps.

[Linked Image]

It shows a freshly painted overrider support inserted back into chassis tube with fresh main bolt and extra dome head Allen locating screw into matching pre-tapped hole in support. You can just see the forward end of support through the other redundant hole in tube to define how far it should go in.

Not easy to measure because of curves but I have taken two measurements on my 2011 +4.
Centre of tube measured horizontally to outside edge of the under-valance is 80mm
Centre of tube, measured down from the flat horizontal section of the under-valance that bolts up under the sloping rear of car is 93mm.
I would drill perhaps a 8mm hole in that area first and see how close it is, as it should put you in the right area.
