Front bumper removal on 2001 1.5l dCi clio ?



  2001 Clio Expression
So, yeah, im new haha. ive just got myself an '01 1.5l dCi Clio and i need to remove and replace/clean the drivers side headlamp due to the lens being severely foggy (yellow-ish tint to the inside, seems cleanable) but i cant even remove the damned thing cause i cant seem to get the bumper off lol (which seems stupid to me, remove the bumper to get to the headlamps? weird)

i have been told that i need to remove the wheelarch covers to get to the bolts that fix the bumper on, which i have done, but i cannot find any bolts/screws/rivets/other that seem like they would hold the bumper on.

ive tried looking in the guides section, but as i am not a club member, i cant view the removal guide. if someone would be kind enough to explain to me (preferably with pictures) how to get the bumper off, i would be very grateful.

thanks in advance guys.

its really easy mate.

take out the 2 plastic skrews that hold the grill to the slam pannel.
there are 2 bolts on either side of the bumper pull the arch liner out to get easy acess to them take them out.
2 bolts on the underside of the bumper conecting it to the subframe remove these also.
disconect the fogs if you have them.
pull each corner of the bumper (firm pull) and they will pop out.
lift off the bumper.

Thanks for the quick guide stephen, i shall have a closer look later on, and see if i can get this darned thing off, as this car wont be road legal until i can either clean or replace this headlamp.
