Hi,
Can anybody help me, I am trying to remove my front bumper and have got the inserts of and unclipped the side thingy bits but what next??????.
Do i have to undo the star/torx heads (2 on the front and 2 underneath) or am i totally missing something.
The frustration is growing if i cannot get the bumper of what chance the full refurb???????. :evil: :mad: :twisted:

If your's is the same as mine - facelift model (not sure if chromies are fitted the same or not) it's very easy!

Undo the two big allen bolts underneath and pull bumper forwards!

It's as simple as that! :D

Snapped a few torx heads on those - they get really corroded and seize up. Watch ot when it slides off - s'heavy.
