Removing front bumper
« on: 20 April 2009, 14:43:29 »

Hi All,

I'm attempting to replace my front bumper.  I've removed the screws at the bottom of the wheelarch where the bumper is attached to the lining.  But the screws at the top of the wheelarch just go round and round! :(

Do they screw into a bracket? or are there knuts? Its difficult to see or feel up inside!  ::)

Cheers

Steve

Thanks for that!

The next question is:- How do you remove the plastic pins on the top and underneath the bumper, without destroying them???  :-?
