after a small amount of toying with the idea, i decided to mesh the front bumper last night.

I followed the guides dotted around the forum and removed all the fastenings and all went smoothly except i couldnt get the bumper off :?

am i missing something :oops:

Maybe the bolt hidden in each of the wheel arches? The bumper can do with a bit of a pull to get it free when all the bolts are out.
Give me a call if you need a hand this evening.

if i remember rightly......

firstly the 6 plastic clips where the bonnet release catch is.
there are another 4 of these plastic clips on the underside of the bumper, two at the front and one on each side near the wheel arch.
two 10mm bolts near the front underside (one either side of the plastic clips)
8 phillips screws, two on each wheel arch, another two on each side near the 10mm bolts,
finally the 8mm bolts hidden in the wheel arch.

once all these are out it will just pull off :wink:
