Hi, im having trouble getting my m tech 11 front bumper off the inner bumper part. I notice the metal plates have bolts holding them on, but they are so rusted they wont move. Its a long shot but does anybody know how the inner bumper is attatched to the mtech kit?ie do the bolts hold it in place, or plastic clips...?

Many thanks,

Paul

lol, mine seems anything but easy, maybe they are harder to get off if they have been 'nudged' a few times. I dont want to break it but yanking it too hard!!
