Chrome bumper removal.

[gazm3]

Anybody got a quick guide to the removal.

Two bolts on the central section is as far as I got tonight, Can the whole thing come off in one?.

Cheers Gareth.

front or rear?

rear just comes off, front will have the indicators to unplug

watchout aload of the car doesn't come with it, as it's a rusty chrome turd!

Front bumper Simon, two central bolts behind little caps and then...

Is your Alpina Turd Metal bumpered Simon

Its 40 mins your new car from me!! - 600miles!!

[Simon13]

i know it's a bloody long trip to go back and collect it. 660miles door to door is a bit much in one day i tell ya!

Gaz, it's a plastic bumper one!

i've only ever worked on later cars, but i'm assuming it's the same on a chrome car too.

So just pull it forward, might be a bit awkard and then unconnect the indicators and pull free.

U getting the chrome done on them again?

Front chrome
Two bolts on the front under the caps
two bolts at the side, on the wings

Rear
Two bolts at the side (from boot)
Two bolts at rear (from boot)
two bolts in rear wheel arch (plastic cap bit)

M-tech 1 kits have an extra bolt under the apron...

Simon,

The Wife's kissed the back of an A3, slid on the salty roads!

Needs a new bumper, they just crumple. Just a crappy box section.

Should be a cheap repair, if I can get the f*cker off.

Cheers Gareth

Very nice chap Ԛ£169.11 for repairs to their bumper. Wife's a police lady.

On the front they are kinda in the middle of the sides if you get me.
REach inside the front wing, may need to take off the wheel liner, but I don't think so...

Depends how hard she has kissed, but the mounts may need to be replaced as well. Pretty obvious when you see them.

I forgot to say don't for get to unplug the indicators.. and clean the contacts before you put it all back together, as the seals on them are not that great for the front of the car IMO.
