But not too sure how to do it

Remove Torx screws that hold arch liner to bumper. 1x in wheel arch, 2x underneath. Remove 3x 10mm bolts underneath, that bolt bumper to subframe. Remove torz screws under grill (these are always a fucker to get off). Then there's 1x 10mm bolt behind arch liner that bolts bumper to wing. Once they're all off, you need to release the clips to the wing. Should pop right off.

would it be easier with the front wheels on or off? and on axel stands?

 

[DannyR]

Just turn the wheels to get to the bolts

If someone could find me the guide, id be eternaly grateful! as when im reading something im like EH!? i dont understand! but as soon as i see a picture im like pssh! thats easy! :L lmao

 

[MichaelGrimes]

S'alright guys! did it today! only took me a few hours to do completely! looks pucker now, and wasnt as hard as i thought it would be either!

 

[Budgie]

Few hours?!

Have you only got one arm?

 

[MichaelGrimes]

took me about 3/4 hour to take it off! :L and then about hour and a half to put it back on, coz it had trouble lining it up so it looked nice against the wheelarch's! lol

 

[DannyR]

That long to take off 7 bolts? Really?

When putting it back n do your front two bolts under the grille first then the ones under the arch, they all look like they don't fit anyway!

 

[MichaelGrimes]

Even though the bumper was FUBAR i didnt wana rush lol

Far too much.

Your pikey cable tie ways are rubbing off on me!

 

[DannyR]

Lol they are THE greatest invention. I could actually just hold my bumper on with one bolt and two cable ties!
