Title: Front and rear bumpers removal
Post by: mrjimbo on 24 April 2010, 18:16:40

I need to take the front and rear bumpers off my facelift estate to respray them, they also need a couple fo small repairs, how is the easiest way to get them off without damaging them or taking off unnessesary bits. There's bound to be some hidden screws or something  :y

Front

4 screws - all visible from wheelarche, or just underneath by wheelarch.  3 clips underneth in middle.

Obviously, you have to remove headlight surround first.


Rear, never done one on estate

for rear bumper looks similar to Saloon, can just make out the torx bolts, with covers here, looks like 4 of them:

Should be 2 female torx rear of the wheel arch, and a couple of locking pins fairly central underneath, use a punch to pop these out
