  • Front bumper removal

    I want to remove my front bumper tomorrow, can anybody help me with what bolts I have to undo and any clips etc please?

    2 twist clips bottom of the front wings and 2 bolts in each chassis leg, under the front end.

    The inside bolt has to be taken out however the one nearest the front just has to be un loosened.

        the inner bolt on the passenger side is really hard to get at though.

              see, easy lol.

              you will have to take out the indicators, fog lights and the water feed pipe to the washer bottle too.

                I have forgotten how to get the indicators and fog lamps out, do the indicators come out first?

                    flick the plastic tab up, above the indicator and it will pop out,use a tiny screwdriver or similar

                      Passenger side bolt is a pain in the arse...couldn't get anything on it without removing all the stuff around it, and didn't want to disturb any of that so i gave up and did what I needed to do the hard way. lol.

                      Think I read somewhere to be careful if you take out the washer bottle tank because the brackets are prone to snapping or something like that. There was something I vaguely remember that put me off going to those lengths anyway.

                      Flat-head screwdriver in a thin rag to go in above the indicator to lift the tab and it'll pop out.

                      Good luck!

                        I dont think any type of socket or cut down spanner can undo the outer passenger side bolt.

                        Unless you hit the bolt a few times with a hammer and chisel to get it to slide out.
