Clio 182 front bumper and bonnet.

[john182rs]

Right i am basically trying to help a neighbour fix her car, she had a clumsy other half who had a bump on the front end and has really bodge jobbed the re-spray and taking off aswell as putting back on of the parts.
Ive been given a quote for £350 for front bumper and bonnet to be resprayed as long as i fit the bits. How hard is it to take off and refit the front bumper and bonnet? is there any thing that will need to be replaced.
Any useful information will be helpful.

Front bumper off is a quick job. You need car in the air, front wheels off, archliners need to be detached, and under tray. Disconnect fogs and headlight washer jets if she has any. They are under nearside front archliner. Couple of clips from the top slam panel and the bonnet release sensor.

Once you have all these undone, pull out the sides near the arches and the bumper should come off easily.

Splitter unscrews easily too.

Best to get someone to give you a hand with bonnet, as you need to unbolt it from the hinges.

It's a piece of piss once you know where all the screws are, hardest part is getting the bonnet to line up properly, which still isn't that hard tbh but it's a 2 man job.
