How did you manage that ?

Replacing a grille and didnt remove the old one :rasp:

It'll be fiddlier than gary glitter.

Possible but easier and quicker to remove the bumper tbh.

Ok cheers, bumper off it is then.

 

[paul]

what have you done...do tell us all

 

[DrR]

You don't have to take the bumper off! Saying that, depending on how hard it is to take the bumper off it might be worth doing it.

 

[Maz]

Havn't done anything Paul, just replacing the grille as the one I have at present has a CAF Trumpet in it.

Not a big job to take the bumper off so will just do that if it makes it easier.

 

[paul]

you really are selling

 

[Maz]

Yep, hopefully by putting it back to standard and advertising at a good price it should go no problem *fingers crossed*

Bumper is a piece of piss. Front wheels off. Arch liners bumper side off. x2 10mm bolts, that bolt up into front wings (both sides). x4? 10mm bolts underneath the bumper (possible removal of undertray needed iirc? x4 10mm bolts) Then x2 plastic clips near slam panel under bonnet off upper grill. Then should pull off (carefull lol) remember foglight looms and washer pipe will still be connected when removing bumper

 

[Maz]

Didnt have to remove the wheels last time my bumber was off.

 

[Gaz_]

Your right, you can get out the arch lining with the wheels in, just lock em over, just more fiddley

 

[Maz]

Yeah cheers for that
