I am trying to take off my chrome bumpers on a pre facelift E30 cab. Has anyone done this if so how do I get them off?

Cheers Gill

One 17mm nut just before the indicator on each side inside the square covers and one 10mm hex screw on each side inside the wheel arch. Slide it out on the front bolt thread and unplug the indicators. Simples.

That's the front done.
