Really it's just a matter of a number of screws.

The terrifying bit is when you get hold of each side of the bumper and give it a good tug.---

First time 25 minutes. The second time 15.---


Do Not try and remove the bib screws on the lower edge of the bumper, leave them well alone and undo the 4 under tray screws instead.




9 x cross head screws across the top of the slam panel.
2 x 10 mm screws in the leading edge of the wheel arch.
2 x self tappers on the return edge of the wheel arch liner.
4 x 1/4 turn fixings on the under tray.
6 x self tappers on the two triangular brake ducts.

A sharp tug on each side to unclip the bumper from the wing.

Then unplug the indicator - fog light loom on the nearside chassis leg.
Unclip the power wash hose (if fitted) on the off side.

Best with help to lower it to the ground or put something soft on the ground just under and in front of the bumper.
