removing front bumper mk2 ph2

hi how do i remove the front bumper?

Quite Easy

1) Jack up front end and pref. place on axel stands

2) Remove 2 x clips at top of grill (push down and fall out jobs)

3) Remove water seal in same place

4) Under car holding under tray 2 bolts

5) Each side of car (arch liners) small recess, undo and u will see bumper held onto wings by the same bolts as under the car

6) Just by fog lamp remove large push clips

7) Same bit of under tray indo torx screw

8) Pull out bumper from wings - carefull u dont scratch wings
(get someone to help you)

9) Lean bumper forwards and undo fog lamp connector on passanger side (only need to undo that one)

Bumper should now be completely free from the car - the odd clip or so may need undoing.

No need to jack up, I didnt.

True, but its much easier to get to stuff under the car and in wheel arch.

(forget mines lowered hehe)

is these the ones that hold the grill by the bonnet in to place?

mine too, I only had to remove two screws though, as I had no arch liners or undertray at the time.

Yup thats them!

You push them in the middle then you can lift them out easy enough. (the pin holds it in place)
