Thanks. I guess I'll give it a go then.

I get some funny looks when I do anything on the car round here. The dogs in handbags brigade will be shocked!

DON'T pay a garage to do it, they'll rip you off for what is about 20 minutes work!!!

The guide is really straightforward!

I'm going to do it myself.

Did mine recently and found the 2 tork had been replaced with normal self tappers, the most amazing bit was the two under the wing which I thought would be crap came out sweet as anything, took 20 minutes, so good luck

[Kate]

Thanks.

As soon as I get a torx screw driver I'm going to start.

Does anyone know where the outside temp sensor is located?

I need to change that too and I thought it was near the bumper somewhere?

[Andy B]

Thanks.

Bottom edge of your bumper ....  in the middle

When I did my PFL bumper recently, it would have been easier if I'd had either another pair of hands, or a box to rest it on when disconnected, thus allowing removal of the electrickery, foglamp connectors, temp bulb etc, without hanging the bumper on them.

My friend will give me a hand. We used to fix up old classic cars together.

This is what it looked like when we got it.

[Kate]

And finished.

[Webby the Bear]

And you're worried about taking a bumper off.... you will hae no probs 

[Kate]

I hope not.

Can't be as bad as a full respray I guess.

I think you should do it at night Kate!    You'll find it too easy in daylight, plus your neighbours won't see you!!

I think you're right. The traffic round here is a pain too. I live on a main road with no drive now so I'll have to be careful that I don't get run over!
