Hi all.

Does anyone know how difficult it is to change a front bumper? Will I need to take my mig to a garage?

I live in Fulham so doing work on cars in the street is a bit of a problem. Even parking near my house is a problem.

Thanks very much.

no need for a garage. guide in the maintenance section. piece of piss

The hardest part is getting the T25 torx screws out of the top of the bumper by the front wheels, they tend to corrode and then the fixing twists and breaks. Once they are out it's a doddle

Thanks. 

Maybe I'll give it a try.

Does anyone know the link to the guide?

Yes, I should think that working on one's own car would be a bit of a shocker round there!!!

Helps to have the wheels turned to give a bit more room

Only way i can see how to get this out is to saw it off  , badly rusted into the fixing 

[Kate]

How much would a garage charge for this job?

[Shackeng]

A wild guess, about £100

DIY Kate,theres not much to it really.Just a few fixings,most of which are plastic and require no tools.The only really awkward bit can be getting the metal screws out if they are stuck,but your old bumper is scrap so you can be as brutal as you like without worrying about doing any damage.
