Blimey, that looks a bit steep.

Good idea.

I think I'll follow your lead and take the bumper off (hadn't thought of it before) - worth the bit of extra effort for the light & access.

I broke the same corner when changing the lamp unit gasket - I dropped the damned thing and (naturally) it landed corner first.
