yep deffo agree with that mate

[tom_beverley]

yep undo the 4 bolts on both inner wings (look underneath the car n you shud spot them easy) n dont jus pull it off or u will probs f**k the bumper up

u can unbold the bumper from the car,
just by undoing the 2bolts each side and the 2 that hold it 2 the front just under the grille,
10min job

Don't unbolt any carriage bars or from under the inner arches.

Just the two on the wing either side and pull, it has about 6-8 clips along the carriage bar, some are firm on there and some may just fall off.

Give it a pull, it's ABS plastic so it won't shatter or anything.

can u unbolt the carriage bar from the body as well,with out unbolting the bits from in side the inner wings

[robb]

The carriage bar has two bolts holding it to the brackets on the front, they are a pain to get to without the bumper on so good luck to try with it on!

The only way I have ever removed a bumper is ubolting the brackets on the wings, little plastec blocks, and pulling the bumper off the front.

[Benn]

really?
i find it easy
10mm rachet and its off in 2mins
u can get right 2 them,and see them bolt as well!
but anyway u get it off is easy really

[robb]

Yeah that is what I mean, the 10mm ones on the inside of the outer wing.

The ones on the carriage bar are 13mm and a pain to get to with the bumber attatched, any way the bolts would fall out and get stuck in the bumper somewhere.

[Benn]

cool
anyway 2 get it off is good

[smitty5door]

undo any bolts n just pull
